 * The Post Author field that you mentioned is the correct field to set the author.
   As long as “ABC” is the actual username of the person you wanted to set as author,
   it should have worked.
 * Please replicate this at [http://www.wpallimport.com/debug/](http://www.wpallimport.com/debug/)
   and open a ticket at [http://www.wpallimport.com/support/](http://www.wpallimport.com/support/)
   with the details. We’ll need to see this in action to understand why the author
   is not set.
