The wpDiscuz – Emoticons plugin is a premium add-on for the core wpDiscuz comment system. It is designed to replace the standard, often basic WordPress emojis with a more robust, interactive, and customizable emoticon management system.
This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page
Unique Smile Package: Comes with a high-quality, custom set of emoticons out of the box.

Custom Packages: You can create and upload your own emoticon packages, allowing for branded or themed reactions.

One of the most powerful “specs” of this add-on is the ability to manually add custom sets. If you want to use your own images as “stickers” or emojis:
Navigate to /wp-content/wpdiscuz/emoticons/.
Create a unique folder for your package.
Upload your .png, .gif, or .jpg files.
Map the codes to the images via the wpsmiliestrans.php file within that folder.
