I have created a custom view with posts in which I print the posts' author with this shortcode: [wpv-post-author].

How I can have the same info (post author) with a link to his/her buddypress profile like site.com/members/postauthor?

Thank you!

You can construct the link manually using the same shortcode but specifying, I'm guessing, user nicename to generate the post author slug that corresponds to how BuddyPress constructs the profile link, e.g.

<a href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em> format='meta' meta='user_nicename']">[wpv-post-author] profile</a>
