You can just disable emojis with code. Start by creating a backup of your site, and then create a child theme so your changes aren’t overwritten if you update your WordPress theme. Then, add the following to your WordPress child theme’s functions.php file. Note: code sourced from Disable Emoji’s plugin above.
All you have to do is add this code to your theme’s functions.php file or in a site-specific plugin:
// Disable the emoji's Scripts from WordPress Head
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'print_emoji_detection_script', 7 );
remove_action( 'wp_print_styles', 'print_emoji_styles' );
We hope this answer helped you disable Emoji on your WordPress site.
