Recent Posts Loop for Profiles.

How can I set up a loop on the profile pages for my members of their latest posts? Preferably I’d like to set up a loop that runs in the sidebar for their profile pages and personal activity streams. The posts are mostly videos so it’s just a matter of showing a thumb and a title for each post.

First, if you want to customize the BuddyPress Default theme, please build a child theme so your customizations won’t be wiped out when you upgrade BuddyPress:

Secondly, once you’ve created your child theme, copy over /plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/home.php to your theme’s folder.

Make sure you preserve the folder structure:
/wp-content/themes/MYCHILDTHEME/members/single/home.php

Then, you can add a regular posts loop from WordPress in your /members/single/home.php:

Oh ok awesome. I already have a child theme. I guess my question now is what changes do I make to the basic loop structure that will make it show the posts of the member. Like how I set my current loops to categories. How do I setup the query string for that? I didn’t see how to do that in the link.
