Tell us what you are trying to do?

2 Things:

1) I am trying to add a slider that will display images from a repeating field within the property post type to show a slider at the top:

This is an example of the custom post I am trying to display it on:
hidden link

The slider on the page now is using elementor, it has no attachment to the custom post fields. I would like to replace it with the flexslider you have listed in your modules.

2) Similarly I would like to display yet another slider on the community page using custom term meta from the taxonomy.

Here is an example of the taxonomy archive page I am using:
hidden link

Again, the slider on the page is made with elementor and I would like to replace it with the flexslider you have in your modules.

Is there any documentation that you are following?

I am TRYING to follow almost all the support info I found on these forums, but all the links are hidden so I have no clue what they are referencing. Here are some of the ones I'm using:
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/how-do-i-use-flexslider/

https://toolset.com/forums/topic/flexslider-show-all-images-from-custom-post-types/

Is there a similar example that we can see?

I dont know of any additional examples

What is the link to your site?

Dear James,

Flexslider isn't a built-in feature of Views plugin, so it needs some custom codes.

Q1) I am trying to add a slider that will display images from a repeating field within the property post type to show a slider at the top

There is a similar thread with detail steps, you can try it and feedback if there is any problem:
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/how-to-display-the-pics-i-uploaded-as-a-slider/#post-518295

Q2) Similarly I would like to display yet another slider on the community page using custom term meta from the taxonomy.
Since the Views shortcode [wpv-for-each] only support custom post field, it does not support the custom term field, so you will need to create your own custom shortcode:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_shortcode
To get the custom term field values:
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_term_meta/
Then output those values into the HTML structure as Flexslider required:
hidden link
