 * I am having a problem with multiple if statements. I am using && but it seems
   to only work for the first statement. The code is like such:
 *     ```
       global $post;
       $args = array( 'post_id' => $post->ID );
       $comment = get_comments( $args );
       $user = wp_get_current_user();
       if ( 3 <= count( $comment ) && $post->post_author == $user->ID) {
           echo do_shortcode( '[button]' );
       } else {
           comment_form();
       }
       ```
   
 * It basically stats that if there is less than 3 comments then show the comment
   form but if there is more than 3 and is the post author then show a button. The
   button shows but only if there are more than 3 comments. It doesn’t check if 
   it is only the post author or not, like i want it to.

 * After a ton of playing around with the code, I have found the solution.
 *     ```
       global $post,$current_user;
       $args = array( 'post_id' => $post->ID );
       $comment = get_comments( $args );
         get_currentuserinfo();
         if ($post->post_author == $current_user->ID ) {
           echo do_shortcode( '[button]' );
       } elseif ( 3 <= count( $comment ) ) {
       // blank
       } else {
           comment_form();
       }
       ```
