Remove Chapter Info from Header

Post by alarswilson »

How do I simply remove the chapter info from the upper left of my content pages? Fancyhdr's defaults (without specifying \pagestyle{fancy}) work except for this. My (book) document is single-sided.

It is necessary to know the relevant code for the setup of the headers. Build a minimal working example (MWE) and use the blindtext package to generate a sample document.

I was simply confused by the fancyhdr manual. Instead of the defaults, I inserted the following, emptying the \lhead{} brackets.

Code: Select all

%setup for headers (fncyhdr)
\pagestyle{fancy}
\lhead{}
\chead{}
\rhead{\thepage}
\lfoot{}
\cfoot{}
\rfoot{}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
