Greetings byGosh is my initial attempt to build experience in WP development, and my first plugin to be accepted into the official WP repository.
Greetings byGosh is a free plugin that supplements the standard greeting “Howdy” in the WordPress admin dashboard. The initial version displays a random greeting from around the world – the equivalent of “Hello” in 14 different languages. “Howdy” is also included in the rotation because I am fond of it, it just gets a little monotonous on its own.
The greetings …
- American slang: Howdy
- Arabic: Marhabaan
- Bengali: Hyālō
- English: Hello
- French: Bonjour
- Hausa: Sannu
- Hawaiian: Aloha
- Hindi: Namaste
- Japanese: Kon’nichiwa
- Malaysian: Helo
- Mandarin Chinese: Nǐ hǎo
- Portuguese: Olá
- Punjabi: Sata srī akāla
- Russian: Privet
- Spanish: Hola
In a planned future version the list of greetings will be editable – you will be able to add to it, subtract from it, or change it out completely. For example you might prefer funny or inspirational sayings instead of greetings.
I am just starting to gain experience in WP development, so I’m taking this a step at a time with no specific timeline for completion.
Greetings byGosh was inspired by TM Replace Howdy, which I enjoyed but is no longer maintained.
