 * Hi.
 * We only accept a query string containing a user ID, not an email. We can’t search
   by email.
    For example: site.com/page/?my_user_id=89
 * And the shortcode would be:
    `[vg_display_data object_id_type="query_string" 
   object_id="my_user_id" key="user_email" data_source="user_data"]`
