Description

What problem does this address?

This feature is an approach to enhance the Filter functionality of Otter Posts Block and it is more of a confinement than an issue.

Currently, we can only filter the posts using categories in the Otter Posts Blocks by going to the Settings > Categories but it would be great if we can have this filter for the tags to show only those posts that contain specific tags

Help Scout Ticket: https://secure.helpscout.net/conversation/2217073666/366465/

What is your proposed solution?

Instead of just placing Categories Label and the input box for placing the categories, we can create a dropdown that allows the user to select the Taxonomy and then place the names and why this was the user will have an option to filter the posts either by category or tags.

Research direction

Start by locating the Otter Posts Block settings and the existing category-filtering entry point. Trace how the block applies category filters, then determine how taxonomy selection should support categories and tags; done means users can select either taxonomy and filter posts by the specified names.
