Tell us what you are trying to do? I have a custom view to display a user profile being used in a slider, I want to make the profile clickable or a button which would then take you to the users profile page or view

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site? hidden link

Hello,

How do you setup the custom view?

Is it a post view or user view?
If it is a post view, and you are going to display archive page of post author, you can try this author link shortcode in view's loop:
[wpv-post-author format="link"]
You can also display the URL of author archive page, like this:
[wpv-post-author format="url"]

More help:
hidden link
Display details for the author of the current post.

If it is a user view, you can try the shortcode:
[wpv-user field="user_url"]

And setup the link with HTML codes, like this:

<a href="[wpv-user field='user_url']">[wpv-user field="user_login"]</a>
