Custom emoji selection seems broken, need advice

AI-generated summary

In a support thread titled ‘Custom emoji selection seems broken, need advice,’ orchardstreet reports that custom emojis (like a bread emoji) are falling off the bottom of the emoji selector and expresses a strong desire to restrict emoji selection to only certain emojis. dax responds by linking to a Meta Discourse topic (omit-emoji-component) and asks which emoji set is being used. orchardstreet clarifies they’re using the default set with custom uploads and notes that the linked theme solution worked — though it still shows an unwanted ‘custom emojis’ header, which they plan to hide via CSS. Later, JammyDodger provides an update: Discourse now includes an ‘emoji deny list’ admin setting, allowing admins to control which emojis are available for use on the forum, directly addressing the original request to restrict emoji selection.

Also I really, really, really, really, really want a way to restrict emojis selection to certain emojis, but can find no working way of doing so, even with a plugin. Does anyone know of any existing method to do so that works?

Thx!

Which emoji set are you using?

Thx for link, will try it out. It’s just whatever emoji set comes default, with custom emojis uploaded in the admin section. Going to try to eliminate everything except the custom emojis.

Ok so it worked with that theme. There is an annoying “custom emojis” header still there that all users can see, but maybe I can hide it with CSS in my free time.

Small update on this - we now have the emoji deny list admin setting which allows you to control which emojis can be used on your forum:
