Page Layout ⇒ Fancy Header: page numbering in footer and header

[shannon]

Hi,

I am creating a book using the following:

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[CE,CO]{\bfseries\thepage}
\fancyhead[CO]{\bfseries\rightmark}
\fancyhead[CE]{\bfseries\leftmark}
\fancyhead[RE]{\thepage}
\fancyhead[LO]{\thepage}
\fancypagestyle{plain}{%
\fancyhead{} % get rid of headers
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt} % and the line
}

At each chapter (separate files) I have something like the following:

\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhead[CE]{Chapter One} %chapter number
\fancyhead[CO]{Introduction} %chapter name

Page numbers appear in the header of all pages except the first page of each chapter (where they don't appear at all). I need to have page numbers at the bottom of the page on the first page of each new chapter (only here...the rest of the time the pages need to be in the header). Can anyone tell me how to do that with fancyhdr?

Thanks!

Hi Shannon,

welcome to the board!
The first page of a chapter has the plain style. That means no header, no head rule and the page number centered in the bottom. To achieve that, you just need to remove these lines:

Code: Select all

\fancypagestyle{plain}{%
\fancyhead{} % get rid of headers
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt} % and the line
}

Otherwise modify these lines.

Thanks Stefan,

That worked!

Hi Shannon,

I'm glad to read that it works.
Just a general remark: it's good to mark a topic as "solved" when the question has been solved. This improves the readability of the forum and makes it easier to identify unsolved problems. It can be done by editing the first post of the topic and choosing the checkmark.

Best regards,

Stefan
