So it’s great that we can now change our emoji sets. However, it looks like this is only for new content, is that correct?

Is there no way to rebuild the HTML when changing emoji so they all look consistent site-wide?

It depends 😉 A “_thread_” is launched [in the background](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/models/emoji_set_site_setting.rb#L8-L24) to update the cooked version of all the posts whenever you change the emoji set.

**But** , there was a bug and the request wasn’t working the first time you changed the emoji set…

It’s now fixed 🐸
