I really just want to add one word after the blog’s name, not a welcome message. Is there a simpler way to acheive that? Thanks for the repsonse.

In your WordPress backend, go to “Settings” > “General” and modify the “Site Title”. Whatever you enter there will be displayed in the adminbar.
This would be only for the admin bar, though. I don’t want to change the title of the entire site.
If you don’t have one yet, create file named bp-custom.php and add the code below then upload to server in wp-content/plugins/ folder
<?php
remove_action( 'bp_adminbar_logo', 'bp_adminbar_logo' );
function my_adminbar_name() {
global $bp;
echo '<li><a>root_domain . '">' . Website Connect . '</a></li>';
}
add_action('bp_adminbar_menus', 'my_adminbar_name', 1);
?>
Replace “Website Connect” with what you want.
I uploaded that file to the wp-content/plugins folder and received this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ‘,’ or ‘;’ in /home2/websitro/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php on line 7
Now it just adds a link to the right of the site title, it looks the same as “My Account”, “Dashboard”, etc. It has an arrow besides it as well.
So it looks like this: “Website” “Website Connect v” “My Account v” “Dashboard v” “Notifications v”
Yeah, I was in midst of correcting that hopefully before you saw it. Haste made waste.
function my_adminbar_name () {
global $bp;
echo '<a>root_domain . '" id="admin-bar-logo">Welcome Connect</a>';
}
remove_action('bp_adminbar_logo','bp_adminbar_logo');
add_action('bp_adminbar_logo','my_adminbar_name');
EDIT – Works when you put this in your active theme’s functions.php file (instead of the bp-custom.php file in plugins directory as mentioned above. Thanks to @DJPaul in this post).
