 * Hi,
    we’re using your plugin for nearly 2 years now and it did work as it should
   until some time ago (don’t know if it changed with the latest update or maybe
   a version or two before).
 * We’re displaying all posts on our website – excluding just one category.
 * Until now we’ve used this shortcode:
    [a-z-listing display=”posts” post-type=”
   post” hide-empty-terms=”true”]
 * But the posts of the category, that has been excluded ’til now are now being 
   displed.
    I’ve done some research and testing alongside your documentation. And
   I tried with different variations of [a-z-listing display=”posts” post-type=”
   post” taxonomy=”category” exclude-terms=”106″] but no success.
 * Can you pls give me a hint, how I can exclude all posts from one specific category
   from the result set?
 * Thanks a lot!
    Schoggi
 * PS: I found differnt information on how to use “exclude-terms”, but it’s not 
   working, neither with category slug nor with catID
