do_shortcode -> image gallery -> attachment page

Hi.
Building an attachment page I am struggeling with the image itself when I try to use a lightbox for it.
`$shortcode = "[justified-image-grid ids=" . $post_id . "]";
echo do_shortcode( $shortcode );`
Adding a dynamic shortcode I can't make it work.
Can you give it a thought?
Hi there,
Not sure if I fully understand. This doesn't sound like a theme related issue though.
Am I missing something here?
If it's more a general WordPress coding question then I'd recommend a forum like this one:
https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/
I wanted to execute a shortcode via echo do_shortcode('[justified-image-grid ids="nnnn"]') , combined with a $variable for the 'nnnn' part. This didn't work. A static shortcode like echo do_shortcode('[justified-image-grid ids=featured]') worked for me, but setting the featured image manually. That (version a worked fine, version b didn't work) was the reason to ask you and not any community like stackexchange.
Now I found a solution. I could make the image in the attachment page to the featured image of that page (with set_post_thumbnail()). After that I could use a static shortcode [justified-image-grid ids=featured] as mentioned before.
Thanks for your help
Glad to hear :)
