Tell us what you are trying to do?
In a previously existing view, I'm trying to redo a search by category select field but using a custom taxonomy instead of just categories. The new taxonomy is product-category but when I change it to the new taxonomy, I can't save the view.
From your screenshots it looks like the problem may be that you are trying to add a front-end filter for something where you already have a fixed query filter applied.
So you have an existing taxonomy filter for product-categories (where all the categories are checked).
But you now want to add a front-end filter for the same product-categories taxonomy, which means the View needs to set up a query filter based on the URL parameter that gets added when the filter is applied on the front end.
Before going any further I would delete that existing taxonomy query filter, and then try setting up the front-end filter again.
Yes, If I delete that div with the reference to wpv-control taxonomy, I can save that Search and Pagination section.
So the search input box works just fine. Not an issue. It's all about the Select menu.
So based on what I currently have setup in my Query Filter, did I do that right in order to get that Select menu to appear appropriately?
Again, the idea is to have the select menu populate with the different categories and selecting one of them takes you to a results page like this one on the live site: hidden link
Only difference here is it's pulling Categories and not a custom taxonomy.
I've checked the search form on the page that you shared and the search for the product category taxonomy seems to be working correctly.
Now, if you'd like to include another search field for a different custom taxonomy, you can add it using the "New filter" button available in the "Search and Pagination" section.

In case you have some different requirements in mind, you're welcome to share more details and I'll be happy to guide you with the next steps, accordingly.
I don't see any website named "Dairy King" in the network. I just see the "Dairy Berries" website and it doesn't have the "Products" post type or the "Product Categories" taxonomy.
There is just one view on that website, named 'Product Search Form and Results' and it is also not completely set up.
Am I looking into the wrong website or have you made any changes to it?
I can access that website's admin area if I use the link directly, but for some reason, it is not showing in the "My Sites" network menu.

Based on some basic tests, it seems that something on the server is interfering with the AJAX calls which are responsible for saving setting the taxonomy query filter and saving the view.
( I see an error with 406 code for the relevant AJAX calls in the browser's console )
To troubleshoot this, I'll suggest the following steps:
1. Please make sure that WordPress, active themes, and plugins are all updated to the latest versions.
2. It would be interesting to test this with all non-Toolset plugins disabled and a default theme like Twenty Twenty-One.
If it's fixed, you can start adding the disabled items, one by one, to narrow down to a possible conflicting one.
3. In case the issue still persists, I'll need your permission to download a clone/snapshot of this website, to investigate this on a different server.
I hope this helps and please let me know how it goes.
