Short Code producing errors

I have been getting error after adding the short code.

Notice: Undefined variable: before_widget in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\wptreehouse-badges\inc\front-end.php on line 3

Notice: Undefined variable: title in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\wptreehouse-badges\inc\front-end.php on line 4

Notice: Undefined variable: before_title in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\wptreehouse-badges\inc\front-end.php on line 4

Notice: Undefined variable: after_title in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\wptreehouse-badges\inc\front-end.php on line 4

So I took the code from the download and replaced mine and I still get the same error.

I was getting a similar error on the back end code and had to update is with 

        if(isset($title)) {
        require( 'inc/front-end.php' );
    }
