Hi,
I try to create a messaging system and I follow this tutorial: https://toolset.com/learn/how-to-create-a-messaging-system-with-toolset/

Last step is to create and register shortcode "get_author_id_in_archive". At the end messaging system don't work becouse it not get ID for "Message to".

I just test this shortcode by put it in regular post, and shortcode return always 0.
I copy this function to another website and also shortcode return 0.

Hi, that shortcode is only designed to work inside an Author archive page. Have you created an Author archive? If you place the shortcode there, does the correct User ID appear?

Oops I did not use it on Author archive page.
But also I don't want use it on Author archive page.
If new message form is on post page I schould use this [wpv-post-author format='meta' meta='ID] shortcode?

Yes but I think you're missing a quotation mark. Here's an update:

[wpv-post-author format='meta' meta='ID']
