    If you’re doing this in code, that would be

    echo do_shortcode('[some_shortcode user=”' . $user_id. '”]');

    Or is your question “Can I pass a user id to a random shortcode?”

    Where is this shortcode coming from?

    it just Example. Real shortcode is [videowhisper_content_list author_id=””]
    I have tried following your advice. but it returns only the author’s id number.

    You should contact the developers of that shortcode.
