[Tex/LaTex] chapter heading page numbers

header-footerlyxpage-numbering

I know this has been covered but I can't get any solutions that I've seen to work.
Page numbers for my thesis are upper right but the first page of each chapter should have it bottom center.
I tried using ERT (in LYX) \thispagestyle{plain} and also loading \usepackage{sectsty} and then using \chapterfont{\pagestyle{plain}} after the chapter heading.

I looked at Modifying plain page style and questions on
changing position of page number on the first page of every chapter of a book
and page number position

I'm using the class from CU Boulder

EDIT: I don't go to CU but I am trying to use the class for my thesis.

If you are using Koma-Script, you can use the scrpage2 package, and then define your own styles scrheadings and scrplain (see the Koma-Script manual). You can then assign them to all pages but the chapter pages, or to the chapter pages specifically:

\renewcommand*{\chapterpagestyle}{scrplain}

Edit

A quick fix for the actual problem seems to be to put \thispagestyle{empty} just after your \chapter command.

It is standard to use another pagestyle on pages with a chapter heading. You can use same pagestyle on these pages by

\pagestyle{X}
\aliaspagestyle{chapter}{X}

where X is the pagestyle. If I understand you correctly you want something like this:

\documentclass{memoir}


%%% HEADER AND FOOTER 

\makepagestyle{standard} %Make standard pagestyle

\makeatletter                 %Define standard pagestyle
\makeevenfoot{standard}{}{\thepage}{} %
\makeoddfoot{standard}{}{\thepage}{}  %
\makeevenhead{standard}{\leftmark}{}{}
\makeoddhead{standard}{}{}{\rightmark}
\makeheadrule{standard}{\textwidth}{\normalrulethickness}
\makeatother                  %

\makeatletter
\makepsmarks{standard}{
\createmark{chapter}{both}{shownumber}{\@chapapp\ }{ \quad }
\createmark{section}{right}{shownumber}{}{ \quad }
\createplainmark{toc}{both}{\contentsname}
\createplainmark{lof}{both}{\listfigurename}
\createplainmark{lot}{both}{\listtablename}
\createplainmark{bib}{both}{\bibname}
\createplainmark{index}{both}{\indexname}
\createplainmark{glossary}{both}{\glossaryname}
   }
\makeatother                               %


\nouppercaseheads
\pagestyle{standard}               %Choosing pagestyle and chapter pagestyle
\aliaspagestyle{chapter}{plain}    %Change plain to standard if you want the header on pages with chapter headings 



\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}

\frontmatter
\chapter{Preface}
\lipsum

\mainmatter
\chapter{First Chapter}
\lipsum
\section{A section}

\section{Second Chapter}

\end{document}
