    To Functions.php I added the following code:

    function remove_howdy( $wp_admin_bar ) {
    $my_account=$wp_admin_bar->get_node('my-account');
    $newtitle = str_replace( 'Howdy,', 'Salutations', $my_account->title );
    $wp_admin_bar->add_node( array(
    'id' => 'my-account',
    'title' => $newtitle,
    ) );
    }
    add_filter( 'admin_bar_menu', 'remove_howdy',25 );

    which is replacing "howdy" with "salutation".... not really what I want.

    I want to remove it all... but when I tried to change it I got a "fatal error"...

    Fortunately, my host was able to fix that and my site is back up.

    So how do I remove "salutation, renegade" where "howdy" used to be

    Thanks... Renee

    try this:

    add_action( 'admin_bar_menu', 'remove_howdy', 999 );
    
    function remove_howdy( $wp_admin_bar ) {
    	
    	$user_id      = get_current_user_id();
    	$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
    	$profile_url  = get_edit_profile_url( $user_id );
    	
    	if ( ! $user_id )
    		return;
    
    	$avatar        = get_avatar( $user_id, 26 );
    	$display_name  = $current_user->display_name;
    	$class         = empty( $avatar ) ? '' : 'with-avatar';
    	
    	$args = array(
    		'id'     => 'my-account',
    		'parent' => 'top-secondary',
    		'title'  => $display_name . $avatar,
    		'href'   => $profile_url,
    		'meta'      => array(
    			'class'     => $class,
    			'title'     => __('My Account'),
    		),
    	);
    	$wp_admin_bar->add_node( $args );
    }
