 * Okay, I’m trying to get WP Grins to work. I did everything the README told me
   to but I always get this error. Easy way (through quicktags) and the hard way
   too.
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp_grins() in /home/imysteri/public_html/
   wp/wp-admin/edit-form-advanced.php on line 121 Why’s it doing that?

 * The plugin is not activated if that’s the error.
    Using a plugin, or the hack?
   Oh…….what’s the error doing there ? The calls to that function go in quicktags.
   php and / or wp-comments.php

 * It’s the plugin and it is activated. And the error shows up in both. When I go
   and make a post and in the comments. I put the <?php wp_grins(); ?> in quicktags.
   php and in wp-comments like it told me to.

 * Podz, I use that plugin too. It works fine for me except for one thing. What 
   would cause one of the smilies not to display? It’s this one 😕
    Just curious.

 * [@adb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adb/) – check the image actually uploaded
   okay ?
    [@anon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anon/) – how did you get 
   the plugin ? Did you type anything into it ? All I can think is that somehow 
   the fucntion name has been changed in the plugin itself.. otherwise I’m mystified.

 * I just checked mine … I have the same problem 🙂
    I can see the clickable image(
   face with a squiggly smile) but I just get 😕 in the comment. How odd .

 * There’s a reason why you’ll not find them on sites such as the the Zen Garden,
   CSS Vault, The Web Standards Awards, Zeldman.com, Meyerweb.com, May !st Reboot,
   and more…
    And it isn’t because they can’t get them working, in case your wondering.

 * Yea, I know …….. but still, the odd smilie doesn’t hurt.
    I mean, I have a pixel
   perfect CSS template on my site, and I have styled it ala ‘Johnny Cash’ – you
   won’t see that on Zen Garden either 🙂

 * Sorted it.
    In ‘vars.php’ line 127 has this: ‘ :???:’ => ‘icon_confused.gif’,
   There is a space between the ‘ and the : at the beginning. I went to my test 
   entry, added a space before the code, and it works. I suppose editing vars.php
   and removing spaces would work too.

 * Whitespace.
    Check the file. There must be absolutely totally definitely nothing
   either before the very first <?php or after the last ?> It’s easily sortable 
   🙂

 * That didn’t work. Can I just delete it? Right now I’m thinking I don’t need the
   smilies. :-/

 * If necessary, download a new wp, and use the vars.php from that ?
