I finally upgraded to WordPress 2.6.

I first installed it locally to test it out and make sure that nothing was broken and the website was showing up fine. Good idea on my part.

Turns out there was a permalinks issue.

Everything was totally mucked up. I couldn’t get the post pages to load. I was getting tagged headings on category pages and the rest were just giving a page not found error. Oops!

Am I glad I didn’t directly upgrade live!

This can either be a very useful or a very dangerous trick depending on how it is used or abused.

I found this little tip at: FiddyP (it’s a really cool blog btw).

It only works in Firefix and boy does it work!

If you have a stored password that you can’t remember and all you can see are asteriks, just add this line to the address bar:

javascript:var els = document.getElementsByTagName('input'); for(var x=0; x<els.length; x++){ if(els[x].type.toLowerCase() == 'password' ){ var test = els[x].type = 'text';}}

Press enter and wait to be pleasantly or unpleasantly surprised to see your password staring back at you.
