I am trying to print or echo bp_displayed_user_id in a shortcode.

echo bp_displayed_user_id();
inside the working function (replacing 123)

echo do_shortcode ( '[job-type author="123"]' );
The job by author 123 is displayed fine when entered like above. I cant seem to find a way to print or echo the displayed user id.

You don’t explain the context of usage – iow. where are you trying to show it.

bp_displayed_user_id() only works in the context of profile pages.
So if your shortcode is called in that context, you don’t need to set author parameter.
So you would call bp_displayed_user_id() in the function, not in the call.

Or you could try using dot notation, something like:

echo do_shortcode ( '[job-type author="'. bp_displayed_user_id() .'"]' );

Shane, after my three days it took you three minutes tops probably.

Thank you so much.
