Headers missing

Post by alexis1704 »

Dear All,

I noticed that my headers are missing and I can't figure out how to get them back again.
Any help?

I posted the .cls file of the thesis, maybe you can see something I can't...

Headers missing

Post by Johannes_B »

This question has also been asked on Overleaf.


The default template uses running headers. The class file alone (yours is from november last year, the recent version is from november this year) doesn't show much useful, the reason for not seeing running headers is in your tex-document. Please prepare a minimal working example.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.
