I got some comments on my previous blog post from my website user regarding tot the WordPress question. Here is the question How to Change the “Howdy” message to “Welcome” in WordPress admin dashboard. I think to create a separate tutorial for this topic and share the this with that user.
Want to change the WordPress default message “Howdy” to something else like “Welcome”, then keep your close attention in this tutorial. There are two options to do change the “Howdy” message to “Welcome” in admin dashboard area.
Use the below function to change the “Howdy” message to “Welcome”.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 | $nohowdy = "Welcome"; if (is_admin()) { add_action('init', 'artdev_nohowdy_h'); add_action('admin_footer', 'artdev_nohowdy_f'); } // Load jQuery function artdev_nohowdy_h() { wp_enqueue_script('jquery'); } // Modify function artdev_nohowdy_f() { global $nohowdy; echo < <<JS <script type="text/javascript"> //< ![CDATA[ var nohowdy = "$nohowdy"; jQuery('#user_info p') .html( jQuery('#user_info p') .html() .replace(/Howdy/,nohowdy) ); //]]> JS; } |
You can also change the howdy message by using the gettext filter.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | add_filter('gettext', 'change_howdy', 10, 3); function change_howdy($translated, $text, $domain) { if (!is_admin() || 'default' != $domain) return $translated; if (false !== strpos($translated, 'Howdy')) return str_replace('Howdy', 'Welcome', $translated); return $translated; } |
