I migrated a forum from vbulletin but now the customized smileys do not appear but I only see their code such as the writing: cgrd: or: by2:, how can I connect their codes to the smileys that I upload in ftp?

Thank

I spent a bunch of time configuring out emojis on my site, so interested in this question.
But ’emojis’ are different than ‘smileys’.
Wordpress supports ‘smileys’ aka ’emoticons’

Could you search and replace in the database to change the old smilleys to these

Using Smilies

And then if you want to use custom images, try this?
