removing a footer from a single page

Post by ozymandias »

Hey, I've been struggling trying to remove a footer from a single page.
LaTeX is labelling my footers with the page number and chapter name which is what I want, but it is "mis-footering" my first unnumbered chapter after my table of figures, footering it as "list of figures" as opposed to nomenclature. i'd very much like to correct this, without losing my formatting style

not to sure what i should fiddle with? i have read a pile of googled results, but none of them presented a straight forward solution that i'd assume must exist. the footers are perfect for all the other chapters, just not the unnumbered one, which must be the cause of it all, thereby latex is calling the previous chapter number.


thanks in advance, Erik

here is a copy of my preamble

Code: Select all

\onehalfspacing
\fancyhead{}
\fancyfoot{}

\headheight = 15pt
\headwidth = \textwidth
\fancyhead[L]{University}
\fancyhead[R]{Department}

\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.4pt}
\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{\markboth{Chapter \thechapter:\ #1}{}}

\fancyfoot[R]{\bfseries\thepage}
\fancyfoot[C]{\begin{minipage}[c]{0.7\textwidth}\begin{center}\nouppercase{\leftmark}\end{center}\end{minipage}}

\fancypagestyle{plain}{%
\headheight = 15pt
\headwidth = \textwidth
\fancyhead[L]{University}
\fancyhead[R]{Department}
\fancyfoot[R]{\bfseries\thepage}
\fancyfoot[C]{\begin{minipage}[c]{0.7\textwidth}\begin{center} \end{center}\end{minipage}}}


\setlength{\parskip}{1.5ex plus 0.5ex minus 0.2ex}
\setlength{\parindent}{0.0pt}

\renewcommand{\bibname}{References}

\setcounter{tocdepth}{4}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{4}

\renewcommand{\textfraction}{0.1}
\renewcommand{\topfraction}{0.7}
\renewcommand{\bottomfraction}{0.9}
\renewcommand{\floatpagefraction}{0.6}

found a trick, just made the 2nd nomenclature page also nameless and numberless chapter - which don't have chapter footers.

A minimal working example (MWE) could have been helpful. You might be able to correct that by inserting \newpage right after \listoffigures. Another way would be to add \thispagestyle{empty} at the appropriate place.


Best regards
