Thanks for your reply Victor. Yes profil is correct. it is a translated site to Turkish. slug works that way. the problem is when I check the user_id and entry id it seems that it should work but when it comes to the if clause it fails.

That's correct. It won't work as you've written the URL. This is not how yo pass parameters to a view. This Knowledgebase article explains how to use URL parameters. https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/using-dynamic-default-values-in-fields/#kb-get-a-parameter-from-the-url

In your case, follow the example and your if statement should be formatted as:

[if 483 equals="[user_id]"]upload your profile photo[/if 483]

Then in your view filter, use [get param=user_id] as the user_id's value.

The link is not the problem/ The problem was the user_id inside the of statement. The reason user_id works inside a View but not directly in an if statement is related to how Formidable Forms processes and replaces those shortcodes in different contexts. In Views, the user_id is handled and replaced correctly because Views are designed to work with user data dynamically, including the current logged-in user and the user ID field values. This allows you to reference user_id and related user data easily within Views.However, in conditional shortcodes like [if ...], the user_id is not automatically recognized or replaced by Formidable Forms unless you add custom code (such as a PHP filter) to support this behavior. The if shortcode checks the raw field value, and without customization, it doesn't interpret user_id as the current user's ID.

So the solution is to set a php code:
add_filter('frmpro_fields_replace_shortcodes', 'frm_userid_shortcode1', 10, 4);
function frm_userid_shortcode1($replace_with, $tag, $atts, $field){
if(isset($atts['is_current_user'])){
global $user_ID;
if ( !$user_ID || ( $user_ID && $user_ID != $replace_with ) ) {
$replace_with = '';
}
}
return $replace_with;
}
