I have a WooCommerce problem that I can't solve myself. Currently, I'm using this code to hide products that are in a specific category.

function custom_pre_get_posts_query( $q ) 
 $tax_query = (array) $q->get( 'tax_query' );
 $tax_query = array(
 'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
 'field' => 'slug',
 'terms' => array( 'my-category' ),
 'operator' => 'NOT IN'
 );
 $q->set( 'tax_query', $tax_query );

add_action( 'woocommerce_product_query', 'custom_pre_get_posts_query' );

This works good so far. But I'd like to modify this code with one exception...

When I'm IN the product category 'my-category', the products are obviously not being displayed, too. However, I'd like to change the code so it does not apply when I'm in the category page of 'my-category'. In this category, I want the products to be shown.

Any ideas?

You can check that using is_product_category() function

function custom_pre_get_posts_query( $q ) 
 if( ! is_product_category( 'my-category' ) 

 $tax_query = (array) $q->get( 'tax_query' );
 $tax_query = array(
 'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
 'field' => 'slug',
 'terms' => array( 'my-category' ),
 'operator' => 'NOT IN'
 );
 $q->set( 'tax_query', $tax_query );
 

Use the is_tax function to check the page.
Here is an example.

function custom_pre_get_posts_query( $q ) 
 if ( is_tax( 'product_cat', 'my-category' ) ) return; // <--

 $tax_query = (array) $q->get( 'tax_query' );
 $tax_query = array(
 'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
 'field' => 'slug',
 'terms' => array( 'my-category' ),
 'operator' => 'NOT IN'
 );
 $q->set( 'tax_query', $tax_query );
