This is very very basic question, sorry, but I can't seem to find the answer.

I have created a view, "basic", it's a modified list of custom posts.
Now I would like to add this view as a shortcode on several pages and add category filter on-fly into shortcode.

I know how to create a view based on category, but we have tens of categories, so it would be unconvenient to create separate view for every category.

This would be the idea:
{!{wpv-view name='view-basic' cat='firstcategory'}!}

But it doesn't work. Probably there's no such attribute as "cat". I tried also category, tax and taxonomy.

Thank you in advance for your precious help!
