Change request:
I think add note placed next to Howdy is a very very bad idea, since everyone tries to kill “Howdy” since WP does not, and somehow they are in the same string.
If notes in Dashboard Vanish as in my case ad it is removed from admin bar there is no way to get to it.
I will propose to place Add Note inside the Add drop down, together with posts/pages etc.
Maybe, just maybe that sorts this bug. Yes after 2 times broken Notes it’s a bug.
Did you release my Daish Translation?
]]>I have always done this like this:
function pioneervalley_replace_howdy( $text ) {
$newtext = 'Welcome';
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
$text = str_replace( 'Howdy', $newtext, $text );
}
return $text;
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'pioneervalley_replace_howdy' );`
But, after updating to WP6.1, we experienced a major issue on a site when uses are logged in. Removing above resolves the problem.
The issue is a major impact of the server resources and finally an error:
Allowed memory size of 805306368 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 262144 bytes) in /path/thesite.com/path/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php on line 292
Line 292: $this->iterations[ $nesting_level ] = array_keys( $this->callbacks );
So, what should we now be using?
I have lots of files (debug logs, stack traces, etc.) from the server folks who ran some tests today to help isolate this issue and to better understand it.
Simple removing this function from the twentysixteen child theme resolves the matter fully, but, as noted, the clients want the ‘Howdy’ to be ‘Welcome’. I do not want to use a plugin for this.
]]>The profile pages shows “Howdy_User” as the greeting, which is quite informal. I would like to change it to “Welcome”. I know howdy is used in WP as global greeting, but could you point me where to edit (core files) in tutor plugin to change it.
Thanks
]]>Can you please point me how to change Howdy to Welcome in WP, I’m using a member plugin where the profile shows Howdy, which is quite informal.
I’m trying to remove/change this howdy to welcome here –

Any pointers to change “Howdy” from the user profile (frontend) which is so informal to something like “Welcome”. I think the change has to be done in the functions.php file of the theme and I have tried that, but it gets it done only in the backend and not with the frontend non admin user profiles.
I googled around and in through this forum but nothing really helpful and recent came up.
I tried adding this in functions.php in the theme, but worked only with the admin backend –
add_action( ‘admin_bar_menu’, ‘wp_admin_bar_my_custom_account_menu’, 11 );
function wp_admin_bar_my_custom_account_menu( $wp_admin_bar ) {
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$profile_url = get_edit_profile_url( $user_id );
if ( 0 != $user_id ) {
/* Add the “My Account” menu */
$avatar = get_avatar( $user_id, 28 );
$howdy = sprintf( __(‘Welcome, %1$s’), $current_user->display_name );
$class = empty( $avatar ) ? ” : ‘with-avatar’;
$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
‘id’ => ‘my-account’,
‘parent’ => ‘top-secondary’,
‘title’ => $howdy . $avatar,
‘href’ => $profile_url,
‘meta’ => array(
‘class’ => $class,
),
) );
}
}
One small but really important request: Please, please get rid of “Howdy” as the email greeting! Our customers should not be greeted so informally. I could not find any way to edit the confirmation and email messages.
]]>I’ve disabled two likely plugin culprits (User Role Editor and Ultimate Member) to see if they were responsible, but doesn’t seem so.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
]]>Great plugin. Many thanks.
I checked the “Remove ‘howdy’ in admin bar” option. It works when I’m logged in as admin (only displaying the profile icon), but users keep seeing both the “Howdy, {username}” and their profile picture in the admin bar.
Any idea how I can change that?
Thanks a lot,
A. Mayer
