Page Layout ⇒ Re: fancyhdr | Settings not working as expected

[doonyakka]

Hi,

I've recently been having problems getting fancyhdr to do what it's supposed to, namely to alternate headings according to the values of LRC with OE.

The following minimal example results in "Header 1" appearing in \rhead on every page, and both \thepage and "Author" appearing adjacent two each other in \lfoot on every page.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[RO,LE]{\bfseries Header 1}
\fancyfoot[LE,RO]{\thepage}
\fancyfoot[LO,CE]{Author}
\fancyfoot[CO,RE]{\date}

\begin{document}

\Blinddocument

\end{document}

Presumably, this isn't as it should be. Am I doing something wrong?

Any help much appreciated.

Best,
doonyakka

These settings only make sense in a two-sided document. For details see the fancyhdr manual.

Thanks Thorsten

Solution: Add [twoside] to \documentclass options.
