[Closed] I want to keep using Views, Blocks UI doesn't work well with WordPress

I've used Toolset for 8 or so years. What I love most is the ability to use my theme's shortcodes in the LOOP of my Toolset code. Everything was great when I could use the Views plugin. Now, new installs allow for Blocks using the terrible Guttenberg interface. I've disable Guttenberg and turned on the classic editor plugin, disabled Blocks and turned on the Classic Views Plugin (downloaded from my account page) and archive pages don't work. I can see the items in the query using debug, but the page is blank. I was concerned that maybe the the_content hook wasn't being called in the archive.php page, so I created a archive-%custom-post%.php page for my post type. The <h2> tag I added shows fine, so I know the template is applied, but the loop is not being displayed. Something is goofy with the blocks vs. views. PLEASE HELP!

This is mission critical for my operations. The Blocks plugin, while not your fault, is an awful interface. I'm so used to the wizard to generate the code and the ability to add theme shortcodes to the loop items.

Would you mind allowing me to have admin access to the website so that I can have a more detailed look at this for you ?

Please where applicable please provide me with a link to an example page where I can see the issue.
