Works perfectly
by Bart Kuijper·6 years ago
Not even 10 lines of code for a feature that in my opinion should be part of WordPress core. Thank you Nick Adams for this elegantly simple plugin!
Excelent!

Removes ‘Howdy’ with a very tiny plugin!
Love it!

I hate how it says “Howdy” by my name. I will install this on all sites.
Also works with 4.2-beta3-31975 so it should work in 4.2.
Sweet & Nifty Plugin
