 * I migrated a forum from vbulletin to bbpress but now the customized smileys do
   not appear but I only see their code such as the writing: cgrd: or: by2:, how
   can I connect their codes to the smileys that I upload in ftp?
 * Thank

 * You use the “smilies” filter to add your custom smiley code. Refer to the source
   code for `smilies_init()` for specifics.
    [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/smilies_init/](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/smilies_init/)
   Default smiley code are largely for Unicode smilies, but images are supported.
   For example :mrgreen:.
 * The default location for smiley images is not a good place for custom images.
   Your images will be deleted there during updates. To allow WP to locate the files
   where ever you place them (child theme, plugin folders, or uploads), use the “
   smilies_src” filter.
