On a single page for a CPT, I want to make view for custom texonomy. When I make view, only options are various CPTs and texonomies are not among the available options.

From old support tickets archives I did find relevant solution:

"Please elaborate the question with more details.
Where do you want display the "taxonomy"?
Are you going to setup a view block and query terms of the custom taxonomy?
If it is, you are right, the view block does not support taxonomy, you will need try to setup the view with classic editor, for example:
Dashboard-> Toolset-> Settings-> General,
In section "Editing experience", enable option " Show both the legacy and Blocks interface and let me choose which to use for each item I build".
Dashboard-> Toolset-> Views, setup the taxonomy view, and test again"

I have tried above but it did not work. Only thing happened was that "Dashboard-> Toolset-> Views" becomes visible. Previously "views" was not at that place. So I opened views from here but it did not allow me to edit the relevant view.

And then I tried to edit template where I wanted to add the view but view cannot be made based on any texonomy. So please help.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

You've come across the right information. The taxonomy and user views can only be created using the classic/legacy views editor.

As shown in the attached screenshot, when you create a new classic editor view, you can switch to the ' Taxonomy' option in the view's content selection settings and then select the taxonomy you'd like to use for the view.

You'll find the documentation on using the classic views features at:

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need further assistance.

regards,
Waqar
