I am trying to create a view to display the profile of the specific user, so the profile link would be shareable. However, the only option for me is the filtering of user_ID field.

With this, I need to append the user_id of the user

example: /user-profile/?user_id=11

How do I fix this to display the first and last name instead of user_ID?

You can pass any parameters you want through a query string. You would us functions to convert the user name to a user id so you can filter the view. Formidable stores user ids in the database and has functions to display them as names.
