Hello, I have some products, and one of their fields is "Type of Industry." I will create a page for each industry, and I want that on the page, the products with the industry selected show.

I created a view post type of the products and a view for the industries.

I'll leave some screenshots and please let me know if it's clear or If you need more information.

Thank you!

Hi there

You have a post type for products (let's call it "units", based on your screenshots).

You have a field for type of industry, with several possible values, and this field type is assigned to units.

"I will create a page for each industry, and I want that on the page, the products with the industry selected will show"

It sounds (and looks) to me like you would be better making industry type a custom taxonomy rather than a custom field.

It looks very much like you are essentially categorising the products, and that is what a taxonomy is intended for. (Queries based on taxonomies are also more performant than those based on custom fields.)

And if you created this "field" as a taxonomy, then you would automatically benefit from taxonomy archives without the need to create a page for every field value.

For example site.com/industria/medica/ would automatically display all of the products categorised as "medica".
