 * Is there a shortcode for the username of the author?
 * I’m using BuddyPress and would like to link the author’s profile within the event
   details. All I can do now is to post the full name, not their username.
 * Is there a shortcode for just the username?

 * There isn’t, but you could add that via a custom template tag.
