The Replace Howdy Plugin is designed to replace the word "Howdy" in the WordPress admin area/admin bar with something else. By default it randomly pulls from a list of several replacement words and phrases such as "Hello", "Welcome", and "Get to the choppa". The plugin also comes with a menu where you can limit it to professional sounding greetings, set a static word or phrase, or add your own list (which can be by itself or added into the default list for even more variety)!

List of replacement words/phrases

Professional greetings, also part of the default list

  • Chow,
  • Hello,
  • Aloha,
  • Bonjour,
  • Welcome,
  • Greetings,
  • Konnichiwa,

Default list

  • Get to the choppa,
  • Live long and prosper,
  • We require a shrubbery,
  • May the force be with you,
  • Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain,
  • Wassap,
  • Don't mind me,
  • Looking good today,
  • Eat all your vegetables,
  • I can see you right now,
  • I can hear you breathing,
  • Have you showered recently,
  • There is a ninja behind you,
  • Do you know what time it is,
  • Wipe that grin off your face,
  • Don't make me come down there,
  • You just gained +5 WordPress skills,
  • I know you are sitting at a computer,
  • Did you remember to brush your teeth,
  • Did you put on clean underwear this morning,
  • Don't read this directly or you will get a lazy eye,

A word on support and additional features

Due to time constraints, I am not able to keep up with this plugin as much as I would like. If you want to help keep it up do date, feel free to create a pull request on the GitHub repo!
