Set Category That Displays On The Shop Page in WooCommerce

This code enables the shop owner to set the product category which displays on the shop page per product. The code :

2. Adds the product category link to the shop page items.
3. Adds the 1st category assigned to the product if none selected from the drop down.

The code only displays 1 category link for each product on the shop page.
