I have a character with both head and body turns. With the following structure:

And the following behaviours:

The limb IK behaviour does not work properly. The feet slide around.

Any suggestions on how to rig and apply behaviours?

Try moving your Limb IK behavior from each of the views to the Caveman root folder. As far as the feet go, is your character meant to walk or use the motion library? If not, add a stick across the feet and make it fixed.

The views are correct and the head and body turner behaviours are working correctly. It's just the feet that slide around. Here is the leg rigging:

I've put the LimbIK on the root folder:

It seems to be seeing the tags.

I notice the nionja sample you have has the heads and bodies inside the views. Is that a better structure?

Can you share a link to your puppet on cloud storage like Google Drive/Dropbox/Creative Cloud?

It is almost impossible to help without the puppet. If sharing just screenshots, please include more images with layers including all body tag placements and all behavior parameters.

Nevertheless, here are my random guesses:

Any missing body tags?
Is Limb IK properly picking up body tags?
Are view tags properly set?
Are legs properly made independent (crowned)?
Are there any body tags on the origin handles?
Is Limb IK set to "Arms and Legs," not "Arms only"?

Sorry, not able to provide puppet.

Any missing body tags? I think you can see where the body tags are from the iamge provided
Is Limb IK properly picking up body tags? not sure how to test this
Are view tags properly set? Don't know what a "view" tag is
Are legs properly made independent (crowned)? yes
Are there any body tags on the origin handles? No
