I am still learning but I wasnt able to style a category link. I was able to create the following so only 1 category link is displayed. But I was unsure how I can modify this so I can add a class and style it. Is anyone able to help?

            <?php 
             // category link   
$categories = get_the_category();
        if ( ! empty( $categories ) ) {
echo '<a href="' . esc_url( get_category_link( $categories[0]->term_id ) 
      ) . '">' . esc_html( $categories[0]->name ) . '</a>';
      }
    // category link
         ?>

• 1 You've got HTML right there <a href=". Just add a class to it. – Jacob Peattie Commented Sep 23, 2021 at 7:44

Here is an example of how you can do it with your code, using the category name as the class name:

<?php 
             // category link   
$categories = get_the_category();
        if ( ! empty( $categories ) ) {
echo '<a class="' .esc_html( $categories[0]->name ) . '" href="' . esc_url( get_category_link( $categories[0]->term_id ) 
      ) . '">' . esc_html( $categories[0]->name ) . '</a>';
      }
    // category link
         ?>
