When importing a post using an exported XML file from WordPress, it doesn't seem that the post authors are mapped to the Playground admin user. Therefore, when using the Post Author Name block to output the post author, it just appears empty.

You can use an example XML file from here: https://github.com/x3p0-dev/assets/tree/master/x3p0-ideas

WXR Import: Import posts as correct user (#1477)
5927ee7 
## What is this PR doing?

This attempts to set the correct user for WXR imports.

Reading the source for the WXR importer used, it appears
`default_author` should be set to the ID of the user (not the WP_User)
and will otherwise also be set to the current loaded user.

## What problem is it solving?

Fixes #1446 Imports lack an author.

## How is the problem addressed?

Using the admin ID, and calling `wp_set_current_user()`.

## Testing Instructions

Note: This is an untested change.

Run the below playground, and verify if the imported post has an author
set.
