I needed to create a Taxonomy View, which can only be done using the legacy Views builder. After creating my view in the legacy builder, I then went to insert it on the page using the Views Block of the WordPress Editor. Everything in the "Taxonomy Views" section of the "Use existing View" dropdown is broken and cannot be selected.

Hi Robert,

Thank you for getting in touch.

This is actually a known issue and its caused by the taxonomy and user views not being supported under the blocks setup. To add you taxonomy views to the page you will need to use the shortcode method. This means using the shortcode block and then adding your view shortcode to it.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane
