Re: How to display description under the name on the profile page
Read this to grab the data of a xprofile field:

You have two ways to add the xprofile field:
1) Hook into the profile action to display custom data (preferred)
In your child theme’s functions.php, add the following:
function my_bp_xprofile_about_me() {
bp_profile_field_data('field=About Me');
}
add_action('bp_before_member_header_meta','my_bp_xprofile_about_me');
This method is preferred because you won’t have to worry about theme updates.
2) Copy /bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/member-header.php to a child theme and make your changes there
Manually add the bp_profile_field_data(‘field=About Me’) line to the file.
