I hate those small evil graphics
If you want to put an end to those annoying smilies that replace your text in posts & comments, follow the next instructions.
First, what are smilies?
Smileys, also known as “emoticons”, are little faces that help you display various emotions. Text smileys are created by typing two or more punctuation marks like :) and :-(
Here is the full list of smilies in WordPress
| icon | text | text | full text | icon | full text |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
:) | :-) | :smile: | 
|
:lol: |

How do I get rid of them?
It’s actually pretty easy. All you got to do is go to your admin panel -> Settings -> Writing where you will see the following checkbox:
Uncheck the check box that says “Convert emoticons like :-) and :-P to graphics on display” just like in the image above and click “Save Changes”.
How to replace them
If you want to keep the smilies but you don’t like the current set of smilies you can change them.
Open your FTP program (I use FlashFXP) and upload (overwrite) your custom smilies to /wp-includes/images/smilies.
Looking for more information? Check out the WordPress codex page on smilies.
What about you, do you like them? I just prefer the plain text, it makes it easier to understand. :P

My No Meta WordPress Plugin finally got his own WordPress dot Org page.
Now I’m waiting for my Mass Custom Fields Manager to get approved.
I always wanted to have my own plugin page :). It just makes me proud to be an owner of an open-source plugin.
Howto get a WordPress plugin page
In order to get a plugin page at WordPress.org (like http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/plugin-name-here) you need to do a couple of things as described below:
- Think about a good idea for a WordPress Plugin.
- Develop the plugin yourself / hire a developer to code the plugin for you / contact me and ask me to code the plugin for you.
- Register as a member at WordPress.org
- Ask WordPress to host your plugin.
- Grab yourself some cookies & milk and wait until they send you an email saying they approved your plugin (Usually within one week). If you receive an email saying that they didn’t approve your plugin then… Well I have no idea because I never got one.
- The email will say that you will receive access to your SVN within the next hour so this step is just more waiting :(.
- Once you got your access, read this tutorial on How to Use Subversion to upload your plugin (=get a plugin page), and upload your plugin files to the
/trunkfolder. If you encounter any problems with this step like I did (this is the toughest step), contact me through the contact page or by leaving a comment and I’ll get back to you + Update this post with the solution so it helps other people as well. - Wait up to fifteen minutes (WordPress checks for updates every 15 minutes) for WordPress to create your plugin page and then use the WordPress plugin search to find it.
- Be pround of yourself and comment here to let me & other people know that this tutorial works.

Lately I have been quite active at the WordPress support forums, helping other people that I don’t know.
I think, that because WordPress is open-source, it’s my duty to give back to WordPress where and how I can. By the way, I was once there, posting my problem on the forums and waiting for some empathy from a WordPress expert to come and help me out. In my case, I’ve been waiting for nothing :(.
So now I hear by call other people to come and share their knowledge with others. Come and be recruited to the army of the WordPress community.
