I have a project where it is required that I have five custom post types. To keep thing simple let us pretend I only have two post types. Let us call them **post type A** and **post type B**.
For PTA I need a taxonomy with two categories. Let us call them cars and bikes.
For PTB I need another taxonomy with two more categories; cars and bikes again.
When I am in the archive page of PTA I want to be able to filter for cars and bikes of PTA only.
When I am in the archive page of PTB I want to be able to filter for cars and bikes of PTB only.
So far so good.
What confuses me is in the homepage I need to have two options for cars and bikes. When I click on either, I should be able to see cars or bikes (depending on what I’ve clicked on) from both PTA and PTB.
I tried to create a custom taxonomy for both PTA & PTB, but when I loaded everything in Gutenberg, I see nothing on the front end. In fact, I don’t see no preview of the three taxonomies in the Gutenberg editor either.
I have created everything with CPT UI. Sorry, I don’t have a shareable link. I am only working on localhost for now.
What is it I have done wrong here? Is this a good approach? Am I missing something significant? Please advise.

I use Meta Box Views for such things. It gives me maximum flexibility, as I can use WordPress functions inside it. But it has a learning curve. Toolset could do it, too, and is a little easier.
I don’t have experience with doing such query loops in Gutenberg, sorry. You might try another block collections that has query loops. Sometimes, you won’t see a good preview of the loop inside Gutenberg. You must save the page and open it.
Filtering an archive by more than one taxonomy requires a complex query that I usually deliver with a plugin. [example.com/inventory/make/toyota/make/bmw/type/car]) Is possible if you use custom rewrite rules and custom queries, but this isn’t drag and drop stuff.
Search & Filter Pro is a $20 solution to this, otherwise hire a developer.
