TM Replace Howdy

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)!

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!
