I am developing a theme and I was wondering how to get the first category link. I just want the first one and not all of them.
Thanks.

In order to retrieve the first category link of a post in WordPress, paste this code into functions.php:
function wowlayers_first_cat_link(){
$category = get_the_category();
if ( empty ( $category ) ){
return false;
}
echo '<a class="category-link" href="'. esc_url( get_category_link( $category[0]->term_id ) ) .'"> '. esc_html( $category[0]->name ) .'</a>';
}
and then use it wherever needed like this:
<?php wowlayers_first_cat_link(); ?>
