Page Layout ⇒ Headers missing for ToC, LoF and LoT

[kund2463]

Hello,
I am having difficulties with a report that I am writing for work. I have been using the fancyhdr package to include headers and footers on all pages. No troubles with this whatsoever. More recently, I added the tocloft package to modify the spacing on the ToC. This seemed to be working great, but yesterday I noticed that I no longer have headers and footers on the ToC, LoF, or LoT. For the reports that I am writing, having headers and footers on these pages is absolutely necessary.

I was able to trace the problem back to a conflict between fancyhdr and tocloft. If I comment out the tocloft package definition, the headers and footers are displayed correctly. But they disappear when the tocloft package definition is active.

Any thoughts or suggestions on how to make these two packages work together?


Thanks,
Matt

Kindly prepare a self-contained and minimal example to give an adequate problem description.

Probably this is not related to tocloft. The plain page style is the default on all chapter pages. How to redefine this style can be found in Section 7 of the fancyhdr manual.

OK, here's about as minimal of an example as I can make.

First, compile it as it currently is. The output should be two pages, the ToC and the fake report body. You'll see that the ToC does not have the header or footer, but the report body page has both the header and footer.

Next, comment out lines 22, 26-59 and compile. The spacing on the ToC gets messed up, but the header and footer are included on both pages.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Correct. I had to use \thispagesytle{fancy} after my definitions for ToC, LoF, and LoT. Thanks for the help!
