 * I am trying to set up my knowledgebase and post a new article by creating a page
   with the following shortcode:
 * [kbe_knowledgebase]
 * I created an article under a category and assigned it tags, and when I try to
   access the page that has the shortcode in it, I receive the following error:
 * Fatal error: Call to a member function get_var() on a non-object in /home/swiftec/
   public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-knowledgebase/template/kbe_knowledgebase.php
   on line 78

 * On activating the plugin it will automatically create a page called /knowledgebase
   with the shortcode on it and page template KBE assigned. Sounds like you have
   created your own page with shortcode (and maybe not the page tempalte) which 
   is confusing things or conflicting? Check the WP Knowledgebase Settings screen
   to confirm which page and slug is being used and clean up your Pages so there
   are no duplicates and let me know if you’re still experiencing problems.
