Replace “Howdy” in WordPress 3.3+ Admin Bar

Code:

<?php // replace WordPress Howdy in WordPress 3.3 function replace_howdy( $wp_admin_bar ) { $my_account=$wp_admin_bar->get_node('my-account'); $newtitle = str_replace( 'Howdy,', 'Logged in as', $my_account->title ); $wp_admin_bar->add_node( array( 'id' => 'my-account', 'title' => $newtitle, ) ); } add_filter( 'admin_bar_menu', 'replace_howdy',25 ); ?>

Instructions:
