 * Hi,
    I’m not sure if I just build in a logical mistake which I’m blind to, or
   what else could cause this problem. I have the following shortcode:
 *     ```
       [time-restrict on="2017-10-06" off="2017-26-06" else="Schulmaterial kann zur Zeit nicht bestellt werden."]
       [caldera_form id="CF591eadc32b6c6"]
       [/time-restrict]
   
       [time-restrict on="2017-10-05" off="2017-26-05" else="Hygieneartikel können zur Zeit nicht bestellt werden."]
       [caldera_form id="CF591eb1dbd549e"]
       [/time-restrict]
       ```
   
 * If I get everything right, the first shortcode should follow the else-condition,
   which it does, and the second shortcode should show a form right now, but it 
   also follows the else-condition.
 * What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any help.

 * It seems that your date format is incorrect. Try YYYY-MM-DD instead of YYYY-DD-
   MM 🙂
