I’m using BuddyPress with BBPress – and I’d like to ad a big graphic button to every Memeber Profile page that takes the user back to the BBPress forum.

I assume I have to edit a template (and I’ve duplicated the BuddyPress template files to my child theme) – but can’t figure out which template to edit.

Direction would be appreciated.

You could edit a template.
If you are using profile cover images, edit buddypress\members\single\cover-image-header.php
Otherwise, edit buddypress\members\single\member-header.php

But you can use a function instead.
Both the templates mentioned above have two action hooks:

do_action( 'bp_member_header_actions' );
do_action( 'bp_profile_header_meta' );

Choose the one that will place your button where you want it and write a function that adds the button.

Thanks, that’s just what I needed.

I actually added a line of linking code directly to that template (in the child theme). Any reason that’s a bad idea?
