    I’m creating a wordpress page where i put this shortcode:

    [mla_gallery attachment_tag=”{query:tag}”]

    in order to create a dinamically page where the images showed are filtered by dinamically tag. I recall this page by following “/galleria-dinamica/?tag=TO”.

    The command doesn’t work. If i try to run the shortcode

    [mla_gallery attachment_tag=TO] it works fine. Where is the issue?

    Thanks for your question. You can make a simple adjustment to your shortcake to get the results you want.

    Add plus signs to the delimited, e.g. “{+tag+}”.

    I am marking this topic resolved, but please an update if you have problems or further questions regarding the above suggestion. Thanks for your interest in the plugin.

    Hi David,

    thank you for your feedback. I have tried you suggestion adding + sign but it doesn’t work. I have tried any sign combination with or without “query” word but it seems not able to read the “tag” parameter from URL “/galleria-dinamica/?tag=TO”.

    There is any function in MLA setting i should enable to allow the custom field and query variable substitution in shortcode parameters?

    My apologies; I’m traveling and typing this on a small screen.

    Try attachment_tag=”{+request:tag÷}”. The request prefix is for URL query parameters, and the “query” prefix is for WordPress query variables. You might also pick something other than “tag” for the parameter name since it’s a special name in some cases.
