General ⇒ Can't change fancy Header Color!!

[juliette]

Hello,

I'm using the fancy header package, and applying the following command:

Code: Select all

\lhead{}
\rfoot{\thepage\ of \pageref{LastPage}}
\lfoot{}
\cfoot{}

gives me "1 of 3" in the bottom right corner just as I like, except the 3 is blue for some reason. On all three pages. I'm also using \usepackage{lastpage} to detect the last page. Does anyone know how I can change that 3 from blue to black ??

Hi juliette,

that's not the standard behaviour, can you please post a minimal working example showing the mentioned problem?

I apologize for the obvious double-posting, but I have new information regarding this issue.

My guess is that the hyperref package is responsible for the color issue, as the following MWE illustrates:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\lhead{}
\rfoot{\thepage\ of \pageref{LastPage}}
\lfoot{}
\cfoot{}
\usepackage{lastpage}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{colorlinks=true,linkcolor=blue}

\usepackage{lipsum}%just to automatically generate some text

\begin{document}

\lipsum[1-14]

\end{document}

If this is so, then a posible solution is to define a new command (that I called \mypageref in the example below) that temporarily sets the links color to black and then restores it to its original definition (which I asssumed to be blue) and to use this new command in the footer:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\lhead{}
\rfoot{\thepage\ of \mypageref{LastPage}}
\lfoot{}
\cfoot{}
\usepackage{lastpage}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{colorlinks=true,linkcolor=blue}

\newcommand*{\mypageref}[1]{%
   \hypersetup{linkcolor=black}\pageref{#1}\hypersetup{linkcolor=red}}

\usepackage{lipsum}%just to automatically generate some text

\begin{document}

\lipsum[1-14]

\end{document}

Thank you so much gmedina that worked out perfectly !! <3

use \pageref*{LastPage} instead.
