Exclude one category from adverts_list

Hi,
by default we do not have such feature i am afraid, however you can add in your theme functions.php file the code below

add_filter( 'shortcode_atts_adverts_list', 'my_adverts_list_category_exclude_atts', 10, 3 );
function my_adverts_list_category_exclude_atts( $out, $pairs, $atts ) {
    if( ! isset( $atts["_category_exclude"] ) ) {
        $atts["_category_exclude"] = null;
    }
    
    $out["_category_exclude"] = $atts["_category_exclude"];
    return $out;
}
add_filter( "adverts_list_query", "my_adverts_list_category_exclude", 10, 2 );
function my_adverts_list_category_exclude( $args, $params ) {
    if( isset( $params["_category_exclude"] ) ) {
        if( ! isset( $args["taxonomy"] ) || ! is_array( $args["taxonomy"] ) ) {
            $args["tax_query"] = array();
        }
        $args["tax_query"][] = array(
            'taxonomy' => 'advert_category',
            'field'    => 'term_id',
            'terms'    => $params["_category_exclude"],
            'operator' => 'NOT IN',
	    );
    }
    return $args;
}

It will allow you to use the [adverts_list] with _category_exclude param like this

[adverts_list _category_exclude="52"]
