I am basically looking for a way to display only 3 categories on my template page.
I used a foreach loop to display all the categories on my pages

$categories = get_categories();

foreach($categories as $category) {

   echo '<div class="col-md-4"><a href="' . 

    get_category_link($category->term_id) . '">' . $category->name 

  . '</a></div>';

}?>

this code displays all the categories on my page but I just want to display 3 per page and eventually add paginations

My Answer:
To display only 3 categories on your page, you can modify the code to limit the number of categories displayed. Here's an example:

php
$categories = get_categories(array('number' => 3)); // Limit to 3 categories
foreach($categories as $category) {
echo '

' . $category->name . '

';
}


This code will only display 3 categories on your page. If you want to add pagination to display more categories, you can use the `paged` parameter in the `get_categories` function and set up pagination controls accordingly.
