 * Hi,
 * I want to use gallery shortcode on my tag.php page. Let’s say I have “tree” tag.
   And I want to see all images contains “tree” caption or description on “tree”
   tag page. If I use this:
    `<?php echo do_shortcode('[gallery captiontag="tree"]');?
   >` Is this code show all images that have “tree” caption, tag, description or
   alternative text? If this don’t is there another way to do this? Thanks.
 * Sorry for English…

 * Howdy rea-secret,
 * No, the code you have pasted has nothing to do with which images will be displayed,
   but rather will wrap the image captions with a `<tree>` tag, which is no good.

 * You will likely need some sort of custom solution or other strategy.
