I assumed that your are using undersocres starter theme to build your theme
and you probably copied the code from template-tags.php inside inc folder in your theme.
Now do this:
keep this code inside template-tags.php
function category_renown() {
$categories = get_the_category_list( esc_html__( ' ', 'openblogger' ));
if ( $categories ) {
printf( '<span class="catu-links">' . esc_html__( '%1$s', 'openblogger' ) . '</span>', $categories ); // WPCS: XSS OK.
}
}
copy your function inside content.php file like:
this is the content for content.php file
<?php
/**
* Template part for displaying posts
*
* @link https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/template-hierarchy/
*
* @package xyz
*/
?>
<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
<header class="entry-header">
<?php category_renown(); ?>
<?php
if ( is_singular() ) :
the_title( '<h1 class="entry-title">', '</h1>' );
else :
the_title( '<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="' . esc_url( get_permalink() ) . '" rel="bookmark">', '</a></h2>' );
endif;
if ( 'post' === get_post_type() ) :
?>
<div class="entry-meta">
<?php
xyz_posted_on();
xyz_posted_by();
?>
</div><!-- .entry-meta -->
<?php endif; ?>
</header><!-- .entry-header -->
<?php xyz_post_thumbnail(); ?>
<div class="entry-content">
<?php
the_content( sprintf(
wp_kses(
/* translators: %s: Name of current post. Only visible to screen readers */
__( 'Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "%s"</span>', 'xyz' ),
array(
'span' => array(
'class' => array(),
),
)
),
get_the_title()
) );
wp_link_pages( array(
'before' => '<div class="page-links">' . esc_html__( 'Pages:', 'xyz' ),
'after' => '</div>',
) );
?>
</div><!-- .entry-content -->
<footer class="entry-footer">
<?php xyz_entry_footer(); ?>
</footer><!-- .entry-footer -->
</article><!-- #post-<?php the_ID(); ?> -->
now you need to remove the following code in template-tags.php file inside function xyz_entry_footer():
$categories = get_the_category_list( esc_html__( ' ', 'openblogger' ));
if ( $categories ) {
printf( '<span class="catu-links">' . esc_html__( '%1$s', 'openblogger' ) . '</span>', $categories ); // WPCS: XSS OK.
}
final version of template-tags.php should be:
<?php
/**
* Custom template tags for this theme
*
* Eventually, some of the functionality here could be replaced by core features.
*
* @package xyz
*/
if ( ! function_exists( 'xyz_posted_on' ) ) :
/**

*/
function xyz_posted_on() {
$time_string = '<time class="entry-date published updated" datetime="%1$s">%2$s</time>';
if ( get_the_time( 'U' ) !== get_the_modified_time( 'U' ) ) {
$time_string = '<time class="entry-date published" datetime="%1$s">%2$s</time><time class="updated" datetime="%3$s">%4$s</time>';
}
$time_string = sprintf( $time_string,
esc_attr( get_the_date( DATE_W3C ) ),
esc_html( get_the_date() ),
esc_attr( get_the_modified_date( DATE_W3C ) ),
esc_html( get_the_modified_date() )
);
$posted_on = sprintf(
/* translators: %s: post date. */
esc_html_x( 'Posted on %s', 'post date', 'xyz' ),
'<a href="' . esc_url( get_permalink() ) . '" rel="bookmark">' . $time_string . '</a>'

echo '<span class="posted-on">' . $posted_on . '</span>'; // WPCS: XSS OK.

endif;

'<span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="' . esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ) . '">' . esc_html( get_the_author() ) . '</a></span>'
);
echo '<span class="byline"> ' . $byline . '</span>'; // WPCS: XSS OK.
}
endif;
if ( ! function_exists( 'xyz_entry_footer' ) ) :

I just assumed you are building theme using underscores starter theme. If not please add more code ( where you are calling that function )
another thing you may have done more changes to starter theme, so be careful before copying and pasting this code.
