Adding custom user specific content to profile body

I am tinkering with some tricks shown here: https://usersinsights.com/buddypress-custom-profile/.

It has been mostly successful and straight forward more or less. The examples in the link adds customized content to the user’s HEADER section however (where Avatar & last-active time is shown) using:

add_action( ‘bp_profile_header_meta’, ‘my_function’ );

How might I add actions to the main body of a profile page (i.e. in the Base profile section [before and after])? I’ve tried substituting ‘bp_profile_header_meta’ with the other hooks shown in the tutorial i.e.:

add_action( ‘bp_before_profile_content’, ‘my_function’ );
add_action( ‘bp_before_member_activity_content’, ‘my_function’ );

but none of them displays the content within the main body of the profile. Please help.
Thanks in advance.

You could try bp_before_profile_field_content and bp_after_profile_field_content

Thanks Venutius,

I am slightly closer to what I want to achieve. There is something slightly odd about the way it appears on the front end using those hooks: before each ‘block’ of fields (i.e. Base, Profile, extended) it seems my_function is called once, but it is not in a loop of any sort.

Is there a way to get it to call my_function say.. before the Base Fields?

Oh you want to display something actually in the field loop, here’s the hook for that – bp_profile_field_item

That’s all the hooks on that page. If you want to do something different to that then you would probably need to overload the profile-loop.php template file. it’s in plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/your-bp-theme/members/single/profile/profile-loop.php. You’d edit a copy of that then put it in themes/your-child-theme/buddypress/members/single/profile
