 * Hi all,
 * I am working with a template that displays the custom taxonomy “Tracks” under“
   Sessions.” These appear as a label, as you can see above. I’d like the labels
   to link to all the sessions tagged with the same. This is the PHP I am working
   with:
 * `<span data-track="<?php echo $track->term_id; ?>" class="label single-session-
   link btn btn-primaryd<?php if (empty($track->color)) echo " bg-gold"; ?>" <?php
   if (!empty($track->color)) echo "style='background-color: $track->color;'"; ?
   >><?php echo $track->name; ?> </span>`
 * I am trying to add “get permalink” and direct it to the slug but I am really 
   not well versed in writing PHP. Please assist.

 * To “linkify” any block of output code using get_permalink(), you wrap it in an
   anchor tag like so:
 *     ```
       <a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>">
       --- your code block goes here ---
       </a>
       ```
   
 * The resulting link isn’t going to have the effect you want though. get_permalink()
   returns a link to the current post in the loop. In the example page you linked,
   it will simply link to the same page. You want to link to a taxonomy term archive
   such as _example.com/tracks/my-track/_.
 * Assuming your `$track` is a proper term object, replace `get_permalink()` with`
   get_term_link( $track )`
 * FYI, it’s helpful if you delimit any code you post in these forums with backticks,
   or use the code button. If you don’t do so, the forum’s parser corrupts your 
   code. I fixed the code you posted.
