Keep inside Static block below code,

Below file keep inside your app/design/frontend/Vendorname/themename/Magento_Catalog/templates/catalog/navigation/categoryblocks.phtml

            //If there are sub categories
            $categories = $block->getCurrentChildCategories();
            $categoriescount = $block->getCurrentChildCategories()->count();
            if ($categoriescount > 0):  ?>
            <div class="container_12">  
            <?php 
                //Loop through categories
                foreach ($categories as $category): ?>
                <div class="grid_3 alpha special-spacing" style="margin-bottom:10px;">
                    <div>
                        <!--<p class="cat-link"><?php echo $category->getName()?></p>-->
                        <a href="<?php echo $block->getCategoryUrl($category) ?>" class="cat-link"><?php echo $category->getName()?></a>
                    </div>
                    <?php //get category products
                    $categoryProducts = $category->getProductCollection();
                       if(count($categoryProducts) <> 1):?>
                    <a href="<?php echo $block->getCategoryUrl($category)?>" class="cat-image">

                    </a>
                </div>
