 * Hello everyone
    I just installed the custom smiley plugin located at [http://qad.donationcoders.com/wp/custom-smileys](http://qad.donationcoders.com/wp/custom-smileys).
   It works fine in my comments, but the smileys do not appear on my “write page”
   in wordpress. It was also noted that there should be a docking box displaying
   the smileys, but it does not show up for me. Also at the bottom of my “write 
   page” this is the error I’m receiving “Fatal error: Call to undefined function:
   wp_grins() in /home/toyaj/public_html/wp-admin/post-new.php on line 59”. I also
   just disabled my wp_grins plugin, maybe the problem is there somewhere? Please
   help me, I do not understand codes very well =(

 * This page has a good overview about smileys in WP. [http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/smilies/](http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/smilies/)
   Way down at the bottom there is a discussion about wp_grins. I’m thinking that
   your Write page error is related to this:
 * > Open the file wp-admin/admin-functions.php in Notepad
   >  and find lines 1085 –
   > 1087 below function the_quicktags(). They look like this:
   >  </div>
   >  ‘; else echo ‘
   > Copy the part in bold below to the same place
   >  </div>
   >  ‘; if (function_exists(“wp_grins”)) { echo “ “; wp_grins(); } else
   > echo ‘
   > Save the file, upload. You should then have clickable smilies in admin.
 * Did you do that when you installed wp_grins? If so, you might need to reverse
   that.
