First, thank you so much for waiting as this troubleshooting turned out to be way more complicated.
(mainly because of the server 403 issues )
> 1) I will take a look at the hosting and REST API. I did just recently open up the firewall so you wouldn't have issues logging in. I find sometimes Toolset works flawlessly, other times it behaves as you describe which is very frustrating. Is there an ideal hosting configuration you recommend?
----------------------------
- I couldn't work at all with the template and archive editor screens on your website, due to those 403 errors and pages getting unresponsive.
There is something definitely related to your hosting server or Firewall settings since your website's clone on my test server doesn't show these errors.
If your hosting support team can't find the cause of this, switching to a different hosting would be a good idea.

2) The 'Template for Locations' which displays each individual location,has a connection to 'services'. Services are currently assigned to all "health center" (taxonomy) locations. I was able to list the services connected on this location just below the image which i can see in your screen shot, it shows:
/service/primary-care
/service/behavioral-health
in this location, I connected several services also:

In the template for locations, I am using this shortcode though I know it doesn't go far enough or I am not doing this correctly.
[types field='services-at-this-location' separator=''][/types]
hidden link
----------------------------
- For this point, I'm a little confused as I see some duplication.
The website has a 'Services' CPT with 19 published posts.
And this is already joined with the 'Locations' CPT through the 'Location Services' many-to-many relationship.

In the presence of this linkup, I don't see the need for the custom field 'Services at this Location', which is added in the field group 'Location Information'.
It is repeating the same services as options that are already added as posts in the 'Services' CPT.
( screenshot: hidden link )
This means that you don't need this custom field or its shortcode [types field='services-at-this-location' separator=''][/types].
You'll just open each location post's edit screen and connect the relevant service post(s) through the 'Location Services' section.

After that, in the template 'Template for Locations', you can use a view to show the list of only the related services posts, as explained here:

=============================================================
> Question: As this template is only meant to be used to display locations and their associated data, are you suggesting I need to also check other boxes for usage like "location services intermediary posts?"
----------------------------
- Your understanding is correct and the 'Template for Locations' is only needed for the single 'Locations' post pages.
You don't need to check any other post type for its 'usage' settings.
=============================================================
3) I gave this a try, however when I add it doesn't produce what I expect (which would be a list of the "locations" that can get filtered. In stead I get this wierd array? that looks like this? hidden link
hidden link
I have left the filter in here...
Also on the provider's archive output.
I tried using this shortcode to simply display the associated location or locations for each providers but it didn't work. I can use some guidance for how to structure the url? Or how best to go about this.
[wpv-control-post-relationship][wpv-post-title item="@location-provider.association" url_param="#"][/wpv-control-post-relationship]
----------------------------
- In the archive 'Community Health Providers', you'll see that there are two levels of relationship search filters added.

You don't need the second level that deals with location provider intermediary posts. You can change that to just include the one for the 'Locations Providers' and the options will only show the location posts.

I hope this helps and please let me know if you have any follow-up questions.
