WordPress ‘Easter Egg’ provides for even more customization

Well, a comment promoting WordPress was left by Carthik to one of my posts - and after looking at his blog I came across a post heralding a WordPress Easter Egg that gives one access to every customizable thing one could want. As I’ve still not yet tried WordPress, I can’t comment on how well this works. Screenshots or descriptions of what all these new options are would help, but it’s nice to know they exist (whatever they are). I’ll definately be checking these out when I start my first WordPress blog. Thanks Carthik!

As stated in his post, to activate the easter egg:

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.

Be warned, however. One commenter on Carthik’s site tried the easter egg and had the following to say, ‘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! ‘

    The warning is not required. The scenario the user describes is not possible, and should not occur for anyone. That option page is like any other. My best guess is that the user might have got something wrong with a plugin or something. This has been around for a while now, and really, rest assured, using it cannot break anything.
