But what if you want it to exclude from certain categories, or disable it on the homepage? Here you can use this simple PHP coding to get it working.

Disabling Auto Ads for certain pages comes really handy by just inserting the PHP coding and the WordPress Conditional tags, enabled the Auto Ads either in Category, Tags, Pages or Single Posts.

// Paste your Adsense Auto Ads Code here
<?php } ?>

Then unselect any ad settings that you don’t need such as Text & display ads, In-feed ads, In-article ads or Matched content.

Above is the PHP coding to use for Category and Single Posts and disabling all Auto Ads on the homepage. You can add more conditional tags accordingly to where you want the code to execute. There is an Advanced URL Setting for Auto Ads but using the coding above are way faster. Did you have another method to disable the Auto Ads for certain pages/posts?
