Manage Emojis
BuddyPress Reactions overviewPremiumGet BuddyPress Reactions →
The Manage Emojis tab lets you rename any of the 204 built-in emojis to match your community’s language or tone. Labels appear as tooltips when a member hovers an emoji in the reaction picker. Open it at WB Plugins > BP Reactions > Manage Emojis.
Viewing the emoji library
Section titled “Viewing the emoji library”The page displays all emojis in a paginated grid, 50 per page. Each item shows the emoji image and its current label. The total count is shown at the top of the page next to the heading.
Editing a label
Section titled “Editing a label”- Click the emoji label you want to change.
- The label becomes an editable text field, pre-filled with the existing name.
- Type the new label.
- Click the checkmark icon to save, or the X icon to cancel.
Saved changes take effect immediately with no page reload. Labels are edited individually - there is no bulk rename.
Restoring default emoji data
Section titled “Restoring default emoji data”If emoji images appear broken - for example after a site migration or if the emoji database got out of sync - go to the Settings tab and click Fix Broken Emojis. This re-populates the 204 default emojis and fixes broken image references. Existing reaction counts and member reaction records are not affected.
Notes on custom labels
Section titled “Notes on custom labels”- Label changes apply everywhere the emoji name is displayed: picker tooltips, the who-reacted popup, and the Reactions Log.
- Renaming a label does not change which emoji is shown, only its text name.
- Labels are stored in the
{prefix}bp_reactions_emojistable in thenamecolumn.
