This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The user would like to build a link to the author's page where he used the author's ID instead of the author's slug. The following shortcode was not working for the user as expected:
<a href="https://homemploy.com/community-profile/[wpv-post-author format="meta"" meta="ID"]">See Community Profile</a>
Solution:
It turns out that the user was pasting this code in the visual mode of the Fields&Text block. The visual code will convert some special characters to their HTML code. And that was happening with the double-quotes. Which breaks the shortcode.
After pasting the shortcode in the text mode of the Fields&Text block, the shortcode worked as expected.
