 * Hi
 * I got this code:
 * `<?php $terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID , 'category' );foreach ( $terms as $
   term ) {$term_link = get_term_link( $term, 'category' ); echo $term_link;} ?>`
 * That echo me category slug in $term_link variable
 * Now I want to put the variable in xxx place:
 * `<?php echo do_shortcode( '[gallery category="xxx"]' ) ?>`
 * Can You help me and span those two codes into one properly ?
 * Thank You in advance

 * Can’t you just move the `echo $term_link` to inside the shortcode?
