Display products from category but not subcategory

I am using a shortcode to display products from a certain category. But I need it to display only the first level products.

Here is my category structure:
– Transformers
— Transformer Accessories

I need to only display Transformers not, Accessories, which is the subcat.
But this shortcode will display all from the transformers category:

[products category="transformers"]

And if I change it to be NOT IN Transformer Accessories, it displays all other products in other categories outside of Transformers as well.

You’re going to need a bit of custom code here – the shortcodes included in the plugin do not cover the kind of excluding you’re looking for. This article by SkyVerge looks like a good starting point for you: https://www.skyverge.com/blog/hide-certain-woocommerce-subcategories-catalog/

That doesn’t work. That is for hiding categories in a list of categories. I’m needing to hide products from a certain category in a list of products.

I’ve tried all of the following based on forum responses. None change the results.

function modify_category_products($query)
    {
        if($query->get('product_cat') && is_tax() && !is_admin())
        {
            $tax_query = $query->get('tax_query');

            $cat = get_term_by('slug', $query->get('product_cat'), 'product_cat');
            $subcats = get_terms( 'product_cat', array(
                'parent' => $cat->term_id
            ) );

            $child_cats = array();
            foreach($subcats as $cat)
            {
                array_push($child_cats, $cat->term_id);
            }

            $new_tax_query = array(
                array(
                    'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
                    'field' => 'id',
                    'terms' => $child_cats,
                    'operator'=> 'NOT IN'
                )
            );
            array_push($tax_query, $new_tax_query);
            $query->set('tax_query', $new_tax_query);
        }
    }
    add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'modify_category_products' );

and

function modify_category_products($query)
    {
        if($query->get('product_cat') && is_tax() && !is_admin())
        {
            $tax_query = $query->get('tax_query');

            $cat = get_term_by('slug', $query->get('product_cat'), 'product_cat');
            $subcats = get_terms( 'product_cat', array(
                'parent' => $cat->term_id
            ) );

            $child_cats = array();
            foreach($subcats as $cat)
            {
                array_push($child_cats, $cat->term_id);
            }

            $new_tax_query = array(
                array(
                    'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
                    'field' => 'id',
                    'terms' => $child_cats,
                    'operator'=> 'NOT IN'
                )
            );
            array_push($tax_query, $new_tax_query);
            
            $query->tax_query->queries[] = $new_tax_query; 
            $query->query_vars['tax_query'] = $query->new_tax_query->queries;
        }
    }
    add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'modify_category_products' );

and

function modify_category_products_interrupt($query)
    {
        if(is_main_query() && !is_admin())
        {
            $queries = $query->tax_query->queries;
            foreach($queries as $q)
            {
                if($q['taxonomy'] == 'product_cat')
                {
                    $q['include_children'] = false;
                }
            }

        }
    }
add_action('parse_tax_query', 'modify_category_products');

This discussion is a bit old, but it may help – specifically the suggestion to not use cat, as it references all subcategories of a category:
