Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Greetings byGosh is a simple, free plugin that supplements the standard greeting “Howdy” in the WordPress admin dashboard. It displays a random greeting from around the world – the equivalent of “Hello” in 16 different languages. “Howdy” is also included in the rotation because I am fond of it, it just gets a little monotonous on its own.

Greetings byGosh has only been tested with the English language version of WordPress.

1; (2) Added two new greetings in honor of Kamala Harris, the first female Vice President of the United States: ‘Wah Gwaan’ (Jamaican), and ‘Vanakkam’ (Tamil).

If you enjoy Greetings byGosh, please leave a review. If this plugin gives you any grief, please post on the support page. I’ll do my best to fix any problems.
