Page Layout ⇒ fancyhdr | Header overwritten by Text Body

[sw3quant]

I am trying to use fancyhdr for the first time.

When my document compiles I see that the headers which I put in have been overwritten by the section headers (ie latex is not taking account of the fact that I am using this package and is overwriting the headers).

Can anyone tell me what I have done wrong?

My MWE is here:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{url}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[numbers]{natbib}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{fullpage}
%\usepackage[framed,numbered]{StyleFiles/mcode}
\newcommand{\Norm}{\mathop{\mathrm{Norm}}}
\newcommand{\tr}{\mathop{\mathrm{tr}}}
\newcommand{\vect}{\mathop{\mathrm{vec}}}
\newcommand{\diag}{\mathop{\mathrm{diag}}}
\newcommand{\argmin}{\mathop{\mathrm{argmin}}}

\pagestyle{headings}
\setcounter{page}{1}
\pagenumbering{arabic}

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\setlength{\headheight}{15.2pt}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{}
\lhead{\fancyplain{}{mememmemememe, United Kingdom}}
\rhead{\fancyplain{}{\today}}
\rfoot{\fancyplain{}{\thepage}}

\usepackage{a4wide}
\begin{document}
\title{blah}
\author{mememmemememe \\ United Kingdom}
\date{\today}
\maketitle

Don't load the fullpage package, then it's not overwritten, i.e. delete this line:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{fullpage}

The reason why this happens is because fullpage sets \headheight and \headsep to 0pt in the background. In »empty« page style it does the same with \footskip. This is not documented. From my point of view this package should be considered obsolete.
