This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
I need to show informations about a User on a User Single page. For example:
On /author/user1 I want to show user1 name and profile picture.
On /author/user2 I want to show user2 name and profile picture.
Solution:
1. Please add this code in your theme’s or child theme’s functions.php file:
function get_user_id() {
$author = get_user_by( 'slug', get_query_var( 'author_name' ) );
return $author->ID;
}
add_shortcode( 'get_user_id', 'get_user_id' );
2. Register the ‘get_user_id’ shortcode first in Toolset >> Settings >> Front-end Content >> Third-party shortcode arguments.
3. Then use shortcode like this in the Author Archive View:
[wpv-user field="user_login" id="[get_user_id]"] [wpv-user field="profile_picture" id="[get_user_id]"]
WP Author Templates are below, currently we are talking about author.php:

Hi Roman,
Thank you for contacting Toolset support. You can create a WordPress Archive View for Authors page, and insert User fields before loop section in Loop Output Editor, please see attached screenshot.
You can also create a Content Template and assign it to Author Archive page but I think WP Archive View works better in this case since Author page is actually an archive page or loop.
Thank you
Hello Roman,
To display Post author name and profile picture please use Post Author option. See attached screenshot.
The shortcode will be like:
[wpv-post-author] [wpv-post-author format="profile_picture" profile-picture-shape="square"]
Thank you
