Overview
Accessing the Emoji library can be painful 😫 on some operating systems. You always have to leave the editor which is not useful for distraction-free writing.
- This plugin reduces the burden by implementing an easy to use Emoji picker in the block toolbar.
- Can be used with any WordPress theme.
- Only compatible with WordPress (Gutenberg) Core. Third-party page builders will probably not work.
Emoji Netiquette: Emojis have become popular culture and are here to stay but choose them wisely and avoid ❗️ excessive use in your (business) communication.
The Emoji Mart library (BSD 3-Clause “New” or “Revised” License) has been developed by Missive.

Great Plugin with Smooth Integration
by joseyaz·1 year ago·1 reply
Thank you for the plugin; it integrates very well with the block editor.
It has an icon search feature, which I find essential, and I haven’t noticed any load on the website.
PD. I would prefer if the toolbar icon were black and white to match the rest of the elements, but that’s a matter of personal taste.

I was looking for an easy way to add an emoji tool to the block editor for a client and came across this. Installed & activated in seconds. Works great! Will definitely use this again. Thanks to the developer for sharing this handy tool!
