moving page numbers to the bottom

Post by fosterius »

Thanks for the Masters/Doctoral template. It works great and looks very professional. I've had to make some slight modifications for my own university's requirements and it has been relatively painless as a newbie to latex. One thing that has me stumped, however, is that the page numbers need to be centred in the footer. How would I accomplish that?

Hi Fosterius,

welcome to the forum!

I did not test the template, but that footer can usually be done by writing

Code: Select all

\pagestyle{plain}
at the end of your document preamble, that is, before \begin{document}.

The header and footer is set using package scrlayer-scrpage.

Try the follwoing in your preamble:

Code: Select all

\ohead[}{}
\cfoot[\pagemark]{\pagemark}
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

I couldn't the first solution to work. The second one from Johannes did. In the meantime, I took a couple of days and read through some manuals/tutorials and managed to come up with my own template from scratch! Thanks anyways.
