3 comments

1. Step 1.) hook into init

   function disable_wp_emojicons() {
   
     // all actions related to emojis
     remove_action( 'admin_print_styles', 'print_emoji_styles' );
     remove_action( 'wp_head', 'print_emoji_detection_script', 7 );
     remove_action( 'admin_print_scripts', 'print_emoji_detection_script' );
     remove_action( 'wp_print_styles', 'print_emoji_styles' );
     remove_filter( 'wp_mail', 'wp_staticize_emoji_for_email' );
     remove_filter( 'the_content_feed', 'wp_staticize_emoji' );
     remove_filter( 'comment_text_rss', 'wp_staticize_emoji' );
   
     // filter to remove TinyMCE emojis
     add_filter( 'tiny_mce_plugins', 'disable_emojicons_tinymce' );
   }
   add_action( 'init', 'disable_wp_emojicons' );
   

   Step 2.) filter function

   function disable_emojicons_tinymce( $plugins ) {
     if ( is_array( $plugins ) ) {
       return array_diff( $plugins, array( 'wpemoji' ) );
     } else {
       return array();
     }
   }
   

2. Either you can add above code or use below code

       // REMOVE WP EMOJI
   remove_action('wp_head', 'print_emoji_detection_script', 7);
   remove_action('wp_print_styles', 'print_emoji_styles');
   
   remove_action( 'admin_print_scripts', 'print_emoji_detection_script' );
   remove_action( 'admin_print_styles', 'print_emoji_styles' );
   

   Both will help you to remove emoji from your site. to know more visit http://www.notesonclick.com/blog/remove-wordpress-emoji-code/

3. Just put the following code into function.php file :

   function disable_wp_emojicons() {
   
     remove_action( 'admin_print_styles', 'print_emoji_styles' );
     remove_action( 'wp_head', 'print_emoji_detection_script', 7 );
     remove_action( 'admin_print_scripts', 'print_emoji_detection_script' );
     remove_action( 'wp_print_styles', 'print_emoji_styles' );
     remove_filter( 'wp_mail', 'wp_staticize_emoji_for_email' );
     remove_filter( 'the_content_feed', 'wp_staticize_emoji' );
     remove_filter( 'comment_text_rss', 'wp_staticize_emoji' );
   
     // filter to remove TinyMCE emojis
   
     add_filter( 'tiny_mce_plugins', 'disable_emojicons_tinymce' );
   
   }
   add_action( 'init', 'disable_wp_emojicons' );
   
   // Disable TinyMCE emojicons
   
   function disable_emojicons_tinymce( $plugins ) {
     if ( is_array( $plugins ) ) {
       return array_diff( $plugins, array( 'wpemoji' ) );
     } else {
       return array();
     }
   }
   
   //Remove DNS Prefetch
   
   add_filter( 'emoji_svg_url', '__return_false' );;
