I have usermeta data I can display publicly, like:

return do_shortcode('[types usermeta="child-name" output="raw" user_name="[wpv-search-term param=church]"[/types]');

But how do I display the user id of the current post publically? I have tried this but it doesn't work:

return do_shortcode('[types usermeta="ID" output="raw" user_name="[wpv-search-term param=church]"[/types]');

Can you help?

I assume you mean the User ID of the current post author, correct? Since User ID is not a custom field, you cannot use the Types field shortcode. You can use the wpv-post-author shortcode to display information about a post's author. For example, you can place this shortcode in a View of posts:

Author ID: [wpv-post-author format="meta" meta="ID"]

We have more information about that here: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views-shortcodes/#wpv-post-author
