 * Hi,
 * In [wp_check_password](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_check_password),
   should the example :
 * if ( $user = get_user_by(‘login’, $username) && wp_check_password( $pass, $user-
   >data->user_pass, $user->ID))
    echo “That’s it”;
 * not be
 * if (**(** $user = get_user_by(‘login’, $username) **)** && wp_check_password(
   $pass, $user->data->user_pass, $user->ID))
    echo “That’s it”;
 * or just
 * if ( $user = get_user_by(‘login’, $username) **and** wp_check_password( $pass,
   $user->data->user_pass, $user->ID))
    echo “That’s it”;
 * because of operators precedences?
 * If not why am I wrong? It works only like this for me…
