Category not excluding

Hi,

I’ve also tested this an it seems that the tag and category by id filters aren’t working and the post number limit is also not working.
I couldn’t find the reason for this but we will try to fix this as soon as possible.
To work around this you can use a page template without the latest articles section ( default template or page builder with title ) and add that section using a block, that way you can customize the result as you like using block filter settings.

Thanks for reporting this!
Sooty for the inconvenience!
