Add Product Category name to product-category link class on shop page

This hides products from a category, not the category itself https://docs.woothemes.com/document/exclude-a-category-from-the-shop-page/

This filter could be used to add new classes https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/blob/cc97de231506074f3172596e1d3e06ac2735d039/includes/wc-template-functions.php#L270

Thank you so much! I put this in my child theme directory in a directory named woocommerce and then another named includes. I don’t see any change to the product category classes though. What am I doing wrong? I appreciate your help!

The code snippets I posted go in theme functions.php, not a template file.

Thanks! I found something much simpler that I placed in my child theme functions.php and it works!!!!

/* Exclude Category from Shop*/

add_filter( 'get_terms', 'get_subcategory_terms', 10, 3 );

function get_subcategory_terms( $terms, $taxonomies, $args ) {

  $new_terms = array();

  // if a product category and on the shop page
  if ( in_array( 'product_cat', $taxonomies ) && ! is_admin() && is_shop() ) {

    foreach ( $terms as $key => $term ) {

      if ( ! in_array( $term->slug, array( 'parts-accessories' ) ) ) {
        $new_terms[] = $term;
      }

    }

    $terms = $new_terms;
  }

  return $terms;
}

In my case, Parts & Accessories is the category I wanted to exclude from the shop page. So anyone else using this code just replace parts-acessories with your category slug. For more than one category just use a comma between them, ex. ‘parts-accessories’, ‘category2’

I found this code here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/woocommerce-exclude-category-from-shop

Thank you for your help!!!
