About Antarnisti Smiley for Kaskus
From the official readme · v2.5.4Description
Antarnisti Smiley for Kaskus adds a collection of smiley shortcodes for Kaskus-style emoticons to WordPress content and comments. It also provides a Classic Editor button and an optional smiley picker below the comment textarea.
This plugin is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or officially connected to Kaskus. Kaskus is a trademark/project name of its respective owner. The name is used only to describe the style and compatibility target of the smiley set.
This 2.5.0 maintenance build changes the plugin name and text domain to a clearer third-party naming pattern, keeps the cleaned-up codebase for newer WordPress versions, and sanitizes the smiley HTML returned by content/comment callbacks.
It also includes an option to disable WordPress native emoji scripts and styles, which is useful when this plugin is used as the site’s primary smiley/emoji system.
Important asset note: this package contains Kaskus-style image assets. Before distributing this plugin publicly, make sure every bundled image asset has a GPL-compatible license or written permission for redistribution under WordPress.org plugin directory rules.

antarnisti-smiley-for-kaskusfolder to the/wp-content/plugins/directory, or upload the ZIP through Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin. - Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.

Frequently asked questions
Is this an official Kaskus plugin?
No. This plugin is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or officially connected to Kaskus.
Does this support the block editor?
The content replacement works on rendered post content. The editor picker is designed for the Classic Editor/media button flow.
Why do I not see the smiley picker near comments?
The picker is injected through comment_form_defaults. If a theme uses a fully custom comment form instead of WordPress comment_form(), the picker may not appear.
Should I also use a separate disable WordPress emoji plugin?
No. Antarnisti Smiley for Kaskus includes a setting to disable WordPress native emoji scripts and styles. Using a separate plugin for the same task is unnecessary.
