WP does emoji, BP does not?

SO I am miffed that WP decided to bundle emoji and google fonts automatically – but since it now auto-loads the emoji java on every page of my BP site I decided to try inputting emoji with the windows 8 touchscreen keyboard as the WP docs suggest. That seemed to work and the images show up on the screen and on the “activity” page – status updated (What’s up admin?) – but when I clicked to post updated I get an error:

There was a problem posting your update; please try again.

So I deleted the emoji and left the text – and it saved. So I assume buddypress is not liking the emoji code in it’s input boxes right now?

@djsteveb,

was miffed too, and decided finally to not use emoji’s. IMO unnecessary built-in noise, coming from extarnal server and added to every page without warning the site admin ! I disabled them with this plugin. On another hand, 23% of websites use now emoticons and probably 90% ignore that… Marketing !!!

If you still want some pics (if childish public is the target), see WP MonaLisa, which is even tailored for BuddyPress.

Have a nice day ! 😉 (emoticon ?)

Thanks for the report.

I’ve created a ticket about this here:

BP will better support emojis after we’ve upgraded our database schema to support utf8mb4.
