Hello,
I am trying to achieve the following: Cross-Cut navigation

A.-SETTING NAVIGATION
Normally navigation is tree like, and visitors need go deeper to find their items
We offer spiritual materials and they usually can be browsed in 2 different ways.
First way, start with "type" Books, Movies, Lectures, Articles, ... and then dig deeper in to the categories> Spirituality/Karma > then you will find the book items.
And these categories need to be created in each type: books, movies, ... Which is a lot in my opinion.
Second way is to start with categories and then go into the types. i.e. Spirituality/Karma > Books(movies, ..)
I need to build navigation(category) structure using wordpress and/or Toolset to where visitor will be offered 2 ways to browse website.
1. By topic (Spirituality/Karma), so we start first with topic, the we continue drilling down by type(books)
2. BY TYPE (Books, Movies, lectures), so we start with type, then we continue drilling down by topic (Spirituality/Karma)

In word press we can use tags and these will help greatly. Especially for browsing by Topic.
The the thing is before I commuted to this, I need to have both type of browsing functioning in a short and efficient way

B. SETTING -Hub page as in the attached image.
1.It will have dynamic "links" to all of the Teachers materials. (Lecture, Books, Articles, Books, Movies, Meditations, ... so on as on the image. I have created custom posts for each of these types).
2. For that reason, several posts in each type need to be created to test the view template.

Also I am using ReHub theme and I am not willing to change that.

Thank you

Hello,

With Toolset Types plugin, you can setup custom taxonomies, and register them to your custom post types. See our document:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/create-custom-taxonomies/

There are two types of custom taxonomies:
1) Hierarchical taxonomy, just like the wordpress built-in "Category", you can setup the terms as hierarchical structures, like this:
- Top term
-- 2nd level term
--- 3rd level term
...

2) Flat(Non-Hierarchical) taxonomy, just like the wordpress built-in "Tag", for example:
- Term 1
- Term 2
- Term 3
...

See our document
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/create-custom-taxonomies/#taxonomy-types

And you can also use Views plugin to setup a post view with custom search form, with the taxonomy filters:

You can also use Views wordpress archive to customize the taxonomy archive page:
See document:

section "Displaying posts that belong to the taxonomy using Custom Taxonomy Archives"
