How do I make shop filters to be displayed on the left hand side instead of the top?
I also do not want the shop filters to be displayed on the main shop page which is comprised of only categories. If I use shop page section to display the relevant widgets then it is unfortunately displayed on this page mentioned.

For the Filters Widget WOODMART WooCommerce Layered Nav, there is an option available named as Show on Category > in that you can select your choice of Category and the Filter will then show on that specific Category page: https://snipboard.io/cKGYJa.jpg
And regarding not showing the Filters on the Shop page only as you have only Categories there > you can try creating a Custom Layout specifically for the Shop page by going to the Dashboard > Layouts > and in that you don’t need to add Sidebar and you will not get to see the Filters there for the Shop page.
