This is new to me, even though others have known about it for months. There’s a Matrix Easter Egg in WordPress 2.6 and in the betas of WordPress 2.7. To activate it:
- Edit a post.
- Scroll down to the revisions section of the page and click the latest revision.
- On the next page, scroll down again and select the same revision for comparison.
- The Matrix has you..

The Matrix has you…
Don’t let this happen again. Go Back.

Very cool
Cool…Never I thought of comparing two same revisions. Great found. Strange is the fact, noone has posted ever about this…atleast I have not seen any blog posting abt this. Great find.
Like it! and no I didn’t know about it either.
Thats fantastic!
I made a post about this
http://leedoyle.com/wake-up-wordpress-has-you-wordpress-matrix-tric.html
But your video explains much better
Now that is a whole new world of awesome!
This is also new to me. Brilliant easter egg. Thanks for sharing
And I thought my server’s security was top of the line
nice!
this is new for me too. Cool!
I find it humorous that you didn’t know about it.
This has been around since 2.5 I scared one of my clients with it a while ago.
That’s really, really funny! I wonder who wrote that.
Sweet – that’s my video!
I posted about this on my blog a bit back http://awaitinginspiration.com/wordpress-26-easter-egg
Scared the crap out of me the first time it happened but was funny once I figured out what it was.
I can’t clam I’m the first person to know about it though.
Adam
Really nice! Thanks
How awesome is that!
I see this matrix one day by chance… ^^
It is enormous !!
you’re just now finding out about this?
I’ve known about this for a while now.

One helluva redirect.
Is it temporary or permanent?
It is still in the beta3 of WordPress 2.7. So i supose it will also remain an easter egg in the 2.7 release.
Wow now that is cool.
Something different that is for sure.
If that’s not the coolest easter egg ever!
It’s the wrong time of year for Easter eggs. Put it back and wait until April.
So that’s what all the updates are for? “Hey guys, we’ve got a wicked important update in the trunk. Everyone should upgrade immediately.”
It is cool, though.
w0w.. COOL !
Okey that scared the crap out of me, my name is Adam, so that was creepy, thou I have gotten that before but not from comparing 2 revisions, dunno where about i got it…
Haha, ok, that’s mad @#$%ing cool…Thanks for pointing that one out. lol
Hilarious! My display-name is “AgentSmith”, so it looks a little strange when it says “Wake up, AgentSmith..” but very beautifully done.
It would appear to be all Matt’s fault. He committed the JavaScript file that is cleverly encoded to avoid detection.
http://trac.wordpress.org/changeset/8306
That would mean it was introduced in the third beta of 2.6.
Good one! I’ve seen that a couple of times but was never sure what I’d done to trigger it… maybe always trying to do a dozen things at once wasn’t such a good plan
wow, it’s really funny… I like this kind of Easter Egg
http://imwyh.net/archives/32.html
This is earlier than yours
If I’d have done that with our software in my worktime I’d have gotten fired lol
Lol, thank you for sharing this, I didn’t know it either
That was neat. Of course I had to try it myself. However, if I hadn’t read about it here first, it would have scared the crap out of me.
Hi all in this galaxy!
Indeed Matrix it is…
We in Matrix all are
When outside Earth Matrix… Matrix II you are in…
Yoda wander and wonder about matrix’es
May the force be with us all
wish it had a real self destruction mechanism though… ; )
Thanks it worked
