How do you add the user avatar photo on the BuddyPress menu link?

There are now BuddyPress links for WordPress menus: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/buddypress-links-in-wordpress-menus/

How do I display the user avatar photo, though? BuddyPress forum itself does it, but I think it’s a slighly different approach as its the WP admin bar:

But that’s the effect I’m going for, for my main header menu.

The BuddyBoss theme exhibits this nicely with their user profile dropdown menu:

How do I display the photo alongside the profile menu link?

I’d actually be fine with just the avatar photo without the name. That’s an option.

Hi @bttmrc,

You can add the profile avatar in wordpress menu by simply filtering the wp_nav_menu_items function. A nice article is here. Add a custom menu item. You should know a little bit of coding to achieve it.
