    The following performs a string replace on the content of the Text widget.

    add_filter('widget_text', 'wpdocs_text_replace');
    
    function wpdocs_text_replace($text, $instance, $that) {
        $search = 'welcome admin';
        $replace = 'welcome adam';
        $text = str_replace($search, $replace, $that);
    
        return $text;
    }
