1. This works well, with less code:

   <?php
   $category = get_the_category();
   echo $category[0]->cat_name;
   ?>

2. You can achieve this using the wordpress function get_categories(),
   this should work :

   PHP

    <ul>
     <?php
     foreach (get_categories() as $category){
       echo "<li>";
       echo $category->name;
       echo "</li>";
     } ?>
   </ul>

3. You want to display a list of all existing categories but don’t like how wp_list_categories() formats the result. Try to use get_categories() instead, it just retrieves a list of category objects.

   You can combine it with wp_list_pluck(), which plucks a certain field out of each object (here the name key). You’ll get an array containing only this key, and you’ll be able to display your list with implode().

   For example:

   echo implode( ', ', wp_list_pluck( get_categories(), 'name' ) );
