Using the child theme for customization?

    Hi @azaozz,

    Quick question.

    I have updated TinyMCE advanced to extend the smilies from 20 to 94.
    For this, I have:
    – Updated \tinymce-advanced.php
    – Added \plugin.css
    – Updated \mce\emoticons\plugin.js
    – Updated \mce\emoticons\plugin.min.js
    – Added 72 smilies in \mce\emoticons\img\

    But every update, all those modifications are removed.

    So can I use my child theme to place those custom files?
    \wp-content\themes\theme-child\tinymce-advanced\mce\emoticons\img\
    Will they be used by the plugin?
    What would be your advise to make those customizations a bit less dependent to plugin updates?

    Thanks! 🙂

    Ideally you should add these as a separate WP plugin. As this is open source software, you can copy the parts you need, edit and extend them, and make “your own” 🙂

    Also, WordPress supports emoji, the “smilies” are still there for back-compat, but using emoji would be better and “future-proof” 🙂
