Where is bp_after_member_header defined

Hi there,

i feel a bit awkward when asking this, but i just cant find this function anywhere.
My Intention is to add some member specific content to the members page.
So i found out that i will have to edit
./bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/member-header.php
I opened it and there is do_action( ‘bp_profile_after_header’ ); which seems to be suitable for my needs.
But where is this action/function defined so i can edit it? I didnt find it and no one asked this before as it seems (Which i didnt think is possible in this times ;))

Thanks
Daniel

Hi @becks-star

bp_profile_after_header isn’t a function. It’s an action hook. You would usually write a function of your own and ‘hook’ it to bp_profile_after_header.

For example:
```
function my_callback() {
    // Do something amazing...
}
add_action( 'bp_profile_after_header', 'my_callback' );
```
You can read more about hooks here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks

Hi @henrywright
thanks for your reply.
I know the basics about hooks. But what messed up my brain was that it is already used in that line i posted:
do_action( ‘bp_profile_after_header’ );
So i assumed it already got written and hooked somewhere else.
But ok, thanks for making things clear. I will create and hook it myself then

Sometimes plugin authors throw out a hook and don’t actually bite themselves. It’s a good way to make a plugin extendible 🙂
