WordPress Easter Egg

By Carthik ⋅ July 10, 2004 ⋅ Post a comment

No one’s talking about it, so let me do the honors :D

If you use wordpress 1.2, go to http://example.com/wp-admin/options.php?option_group_id=all
(where example.com/wp-admin is the URI of your wordpress wp-admin folder), for all the buttons and levers you’ll ever need.

Remember, too much change is not a good thing, and don’t blame me if you break something. ;)

  2. That’s the whole bunch of them, all of them in the Options table, in fact.
    Enjoy :)

  3. Now all you need to do is add a menu option: “All Options”… or maybe “God Mode”

    Nice find!

  4. I’m curious as to what it does. I don’t use WordPress… can someone explain it or show a screenshot or something?

  14. Great find, please be aware that this can have dire consequences on the functioning of your site. For wahtever reason, when I tried to save anything it deactivated my not defaultly installed plugins giving me errors everywhere. Luckily I worked it out relatively quickly, but the expletives had already come out. doh!

  17. For those asking if WordPress is good. YES is the answer. It’s a great program. Give it a whirl.

    Very neat egg. :)
