[Resolved] Adding Biographical Info to the Buddypress profile page

I would like to add an author’s Biographical Info to the Buddypress profile page.
I would like to add the info to the child-theme/members/single/member-header.php file (at least that is where I think it should be).
So far all I tried did not work …

I use the Suffusion theme that includes a BuddyPress pack.

I found some code here which I can add to that page that returns the “description” for a nominated user, but I need to amend the code so it automatically returns the “description” for the particular member.
The first line of that code is
`$user_id = 9;`
but I need the $user_id to refer to the relevant member of the profile page.
Somehow the member-header.php file knows which member’s details to display, but I have no idea how to do the same.

Here is one of my member profile pages where I’d like to add the “description” field:

Figured out how to add the description:
`<?php
$key = 'description';
$single = true;
$user_last = get_user_meta( (bp_displayed_user_id()), $key, $single );
echo '’ . $user_last . ”;
?>`

The code above is not quite correct, I’ll try to add it again without the php statement:
`$key = ‘description’;
$single = true;
$user_last = get_user_meta( (bp_displayed_user_id()), $key, $single );
echo ” . $user_last . ”; `

Still not right, although I format the code as code, it does not quite post correctly.
See here for the correct code: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-biographical-info-and-other-info-to-the-buddypress-profile-page
