 * Hi [@antoineleeroy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antoineleeroy/)
 * Yes, you can export the author name by using a custom PHP function. When you 
   add the “Author” field to the export template, click the field to edit it and
   select “Export the value returned by a PHP function”. Here’s the code:
 *     ```
       function my_get_author( $user_id ) {
       	$user = get_user_by( 'id', $user_id );
       	return $user->display_name;
       }
       ```
   
 * Here’s what the field set up will look like: [see screenshot](https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxSOi52PDCsAbnFKYUZRYjc3UVk/view?usp=sharing).
