Well, here’s a solution that worked for me:
// User Description
$user_meta = get_userdata(bp_displayed_user_id());
echo($user_meta->description);
I can’t find my member-header.php. What version are you using?
member-header.php is located in /bp-default/members/single/.
If you’re making modifications to the bp-default theme, build a child theme so your changes will not be wiped out:

Another option is to use/create a widget, something like https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-bio-widget/ perhaps (untested).
3 years later, and with ByddyPress 2.0, how should I relate to this post?
I can’t seem to find the folders that are described here…
CAn someone point me in the right direction?
You can still find the member-header file in the buddypress folder: bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single.
Thank you! I was digging around in the bp-themes folders and nothing happenes…
What do you mean exactly? Were you searching there?
Sorry for the ambiguous answer, I was in a bit of a hurry.
I was searching in the wrong folders: bp-themess/bp-default/buddypress/members/single, so that’s why nothing happened when I was modifying things. But I’m all up and running now! Thank you!
