[Tex/LaTex] How to change the header and footer on the first page of references section

bibliographiesfancyhdrheader-footer

I am trying to change the pagination on the first page of my references section. I've been using fancyhdr to customize the pagination in my headers per the requirements of the thesis format at my school. In the article class, the first page of a chapter gets its first page style reset to plain, so the fancyhdr style never applies since it goes overwritten. The fancyhdr manual offers a solution by saying to edit the plain style, but I need to keep the plain style because I am using that elsewhere. So my question is, how can I set the header/footer on the first page of my references section so that it uses the fancy style, without editing the plain pagestyle?

Here is a MWE:

\documentclass[12pt]{report}
\usepackage[natbibapa]{apacite}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\fancyhf{}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\fancyhead[R]{\thepage}
\pagestyle{fancy}

\begin{document}

\chapter{Test}
\thispagestyle{fancy} %% This works
\lipsum[1-4]
\citep{R, lme4, MCMCglmm, MASS, lmerTest, gplots, foreign, CAR, brms}

\bibliographystyle{apacite}
\thispagestyle{fancy} %% This doesn't work
\bibliography{References}
\thispagestyle{fancy} %% Nor this

\end{document}

With a References.bib file containing:

}

I had to make the References section longer than a page in this MWE because otherwise, the single page is paginated correctly. But when longer than 2 pages, I can't seem to get the references section to use the fancy pagestyle on the first page.

If you don't want to redefine plain (even temporarily), you can redefine thebibliography (from apacite.sty).

\documentclass[12pt]{report}
\usepackage[natbibapa]{apacite}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\fancyhf{}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\fancyhead[R]{\thepage}
\pagestyle{fancy}

\makeatletter
\def\thebibliography#1{%
  \@ifundefined{chapter}%
    {\st@rtbibsection}%
    {\if@sectionbibdefault
       {\@ifundefined{@mainmatterfalse}%
          {\st@rtbibchapter\thispagestyle{fancy}}%
          {\if@mainmatter
             \st@rtbibsection
           \else
             \st@rtbibchapter\thispagestyle{fancy}%
           \fi
          }%
       }%
     \else
        \if@sectionbib
          \st@rtbibsection
        \else
          \st@rtbibchapter\thispagestyle{fancy}%
        \fi
     \fi
    }%
  \bibliographytypesize % e.g., to put the bibliography in \small type
  \bibliographyprenote  % some explanatory note before the references
  \@ifundefined{APAC@metaprenote@\APAC@extra@b@citeb}%
    {}% skip
    {\csname APAC@metaprenote@\APAC@extra@b@citeb\endcsname}%
  \list{\relax}{\labelsep=\biblabelsep
                \parsep=\bibparsep
                \itemsep=\bibitemsep
                \leftmargin=\bibleftmargin
                \itemindent=\bibindent}% changed to cope with 4th ed.
   \def\newblock{\hskip .11em plus .33em minus .07em}%
   \sloppy\clubpenalty4000\widowpenalty4000
   \sfcode`\.=1000\relax %'
   \bt@beg@thb@hook
   \APACrestorebibitem
}
\makeatother

\begin{document}

\chapter{Test}
\thispagestyle{fancy} %% This works
\lipsum[1-4]
\citep{R, lme4, MCMCglmm, MASS, lmerTest, gplots, foreign, CAR, brms}

\bibliographystyle{apacite}
\bibliography{references}

\end{document}

Alternatively, you could just add

\makeatletter
\let\ps@plain=\ps@fancy
\makeatother

just before the bibliography.

[Tex/LaTex] How to change header to list first section on page and not last section

The following code produces what you're after using titlesec and \toptitlemarks (as suggested by @StefanKottwitz). The main requirement is to use the pagestyles package option, and use a sectional command to define your numbered environment/command. In the example below, I used \subsection. However, it should also work for \section and \subsubsection too. I don't think it works for \paragraph. In order to (somewhat) match your formatting definition of \MyInclude, titlesec provides \titleformat. In this case, it removed the subsection number and typeset it in \normalfont.

\documentclass[twoside]{article}
\usepackage[pagestyles]{titlesec}% http://ctan.org/pkg/titlesec
\usepackage{lipsum}% http://ctan.org/pkg/lipsum

% Definition of the page style with required headers
\newpagestyle{TitleMarks}{%
  \sethead[Top is~\toptitlemarks\thesubsection]% even-left
    [First is~\firsttitlemarks\thesubsection]% even-center
    [Bottom is~\bottitlemarks\thesubsection]% even-right
    {Top is~\toptitlemarks\thesubsection}% odd-left
    {First is~\firsttitlemarks\thesubsection}% odd-center
    {Bottom is~\bottitlemarks\thesubsection}% odd-right
}
\newpagestyle{Headings}{%
 \sethead[Page~\thepage]% even-left
   []% even-center
   [Question~\toptitlemarks\thesubsection]% even-right
   {Page~\thepage}% odd-left
   {}% odd-center
   {Question~\toptitlemarks\thesubsection}% odd-right
}
\pagestyle{Headings}% Setting the page style to the above headings

% Reformatting \subsection to look like a normal numbered paragraph (without the number)
\titleformat{\subsection}[block]{\normalfont}{}{0pt}{\smallskip}
% Strip subsection numbering from other sectional counters
\renewcommand\thesubsection{\arabic{subsection}}

% Definition of \MyInclude{...}
\newcommand{\MyInclude}[1]{%
    \subsection{Question #1} \lipsum[1-3]
}

\begin{document}
\MyInclude{1}
\MyInclude{2}
\MyInclude{3}
\MyInclude{4}
\MyInclude{5}
\end{document}

enter image description here

To see the full \...titlemarks in action, use the TitleMarks page style (as opposed to Headings). It shows the top, first and bottom (via \top..., \first... and \bot...) subsection for every page.

[Tex/LaTex] How to make pages after the first come out correctly with fancyhdr

If you don't set a proper head height, fancyhdr reports the following:

Package Fancyhdr Warning: \headheight is too small (XX.Xpt): 
 Make it at least YY.YYYYpt.
 We now make it that large for the rest of the document.
 This may cause the page layout to be inconsistent, however.

As such, the newly-set \headheight will be the same throughout the document. To avoid this, I've created the following minimal document that sets a consistent head height, adding a vertical space (gap) on the first page to simulate a larger header:

I've used geometry to adjust the page layout - it's just easier/more convenient.
