WP Admin Links v1.1

Due to time constraints, this plugin is no longer supported and will not be updated, ever!

WordPress bug?

Looks like I found a bug in WordPress 2.3. It so happens that I have some pages in which I frequently use HTML entities. Since I upgraded to WordPress 2.3, when I try to edit such a page, all those entities are gone and replaced by their plain text counterparts. So all that escaped HTML … Read more
