# Article won't be displayed when using shortcode

 * Hi guys,
 * I got a problem with this plugin. If I check the “Automatically Inject TimeSpan
   Code” in the backend everything works great.
 * If the box isn’t checked the whole articles won’t appear. This happens by just
   activating the plugin. No change if I place the shortcode (<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[
   time-span]’) ?>) in my template.
 * If the shortcode is placed in a a template it shows up in the frontend but the
   article won’t be displayed. Therefore I get those information:
    `Notice: Undefined
   variable: post in /wp-content/plugins/timespan/timespan.php on line 42 Notice:
   Trying to get property of non-object in /wp-content/plugins/timespan/timespan.
   php on line 42`
 * As said, it only works if the “Automatically Inject”-box is checked. Has anybody
   any ideas?
