Moving the group header and image

Hello,

I’ve recently been asked to use BuddyPress to make a forum style website, so I’m sorry for how nooby this is going to be, and I’m using one of my own themes as a base for it. As part of my own theme I have a large landing image and already have author icons setup for the pages.

I would like to move the group header image and author image onto my theme’s areas. What would I have to do to strip do_action( ‘bp_before_group_header’ ); apart to get just the image, and the ‘author’ style profile icon out of that action?

WordPress Version: 4.9.2
BuddyPress Version: 2.9.3

Thanks in advance

Hi I’m not exactly sure what you mean, but if you’re looking to get the profile image associated with a group or user, you can use the avatar-fetching function that BP uses in its templates, bp_core_fetch_avatar():
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.9.3/src/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php#L99

As an example, you might use
```
bp_core_fetch_avatar( array(
			'item_id' => $user_id,
			'type'    => 'thumb',
			'width'   => false,
			'height'  => false,
			'html'    => true,
			'alt'     => sprintf( __( 'Profile picture of %s', 'buddypress' ), 'user name' )
) );
```
