[Tex/LaTex] How to change the position of the page number in the first page of every chapter of a book

header-footerpage-numbering

I am using the book.cls and I want that the page number of the first page (only the first page) of every chapter be at the bottom and on the right. And page numbering of the other pages remain intact.

Here is my .tex file:
‎

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,‎twoside]{book}‎‎
‎\usepackage{lipsum}‎‎‎‎
‎\usepackage{fancybox,‎fancyhdr}‎
‎\pagestyle{fancy}‎
‎\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{%‎
        ‎\markboth{#1}{}}‎
‎\renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]{%‎
        ‎\markright{\thesection\ #1}}‎
‎\fancyhf{} 
‎\fancyhead[LE]{\small\leftmark‎}‎
‎\fancyhead[RO]{\small\rightmark‎}‎
‎\fancyhead[RE,LO]{\textbf{\thepage}}‎
‎\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}‎
‎\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{%‎
‎\markboth{\thechapter\ #1}{}}‎
‎\renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]{\markright{\thesection\ ‎#1}}‎‎‎
‎\begin{document}‎‎
‎\chapter{Chapter‎ ‎one}‎‎
‎\section{Section‎ ‎one‎‎}‎‎
‎\lipsum[1-‎10‎‎‎]‎‎
‎\end{document}‎‎

How can I do this?

Use the titlesec package's \assignpagestyle to set the page style for \chapter. Something like this.

\usepackage{titlesec}
\newpagestyle{chapterpage}{\setfoot{}{}{\thepage}}
\assignpagestyle\chapter{chapterpage}

Edit: Now that you've added a sample, I know that you're using fancyhdr so the solution is simple:

\fancypagestyle{plain}{
    \fancyhead{}
    \fancyfoot[R]{\textbf{\thepage}}
}

Not sure what you were trying to achieve with the \renewcommands in the defined fancypagestyle, or how exactly they were going to recieve an argument...

Also you need the fancyhdr package. I have added lastpage package because I felt like it, and god spoke to me in a dream last night, suggesting that this might happen. God was like the old spice guy, and a little like Morgan Freeman, but with more freckles. Try the following, let me know if it is on the right track.

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{book} 
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.5}

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{lastpage}

\fancypagestyle{MYFANCY}{
    \fancyhf{}
    %\renewcommand{\chaptermark}{\markboth{\chaptertitlename\ \thechapter.}{}}     
    %\renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]{\markright{\thesection\ #1}}    

    \fancyhead[RO]{\scshape \rightmark}      
    \fancyhead[LE]{\scshape \leftmark}  
    \fancyfoot[C]{\footnotesize{Pg. \thepage~/~\pageref{LastPage}}}

    \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{1pt}     
    \renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{1pt} 
} 

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\pagestyle{MYFANCY}
\cleardoublepage
\chapter{First Chapter}
\section{A Section}
\lipsum[1-10]
\section{Another Section}
\lipsum[1-10]
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Page number won’t appear on the first page Chapter

This is a very common "problem" that typically follows document classes - not specific to svmono - that provide \chapters. The reason for this stems from the fact that the layout of the header on these chapter-first-pages typically look weird, and therefore is set in a different style via something like \thispagestyle{<chapter-page-style>} (typically <chapter-page-style> is plain).

While it is possible to issue

\chapter{<title>}
\thispagestyle{<style>}

in order to update the forced <chapter-page-style> style to <style> works for regular chapters, it's not that easy for List-of "chapters" like \tableofcontents, \listoffigures and the like. The reason for this is because the List-of chapter is set as a whole, thereby making it difficult to insert \thispagestyle{<style>} at the appropriate (timed) location.

You can resolve this problem through a patch of the List-of commands (using etoolbox):

\usepackage{etoolbox}% http://ctan.org/pkg/etoolbox
\makeatletter
% \patchcmd{<cmd>}{<search>}{<replace>}{<success>}{<failure>}
\patchcmd{\tableofcontents}{\@starttoc}{\thispagestyle{plain}\@starttoc}{}{}
\patchcmd{\listoffigures}{\@starttoc}{\thispagestyle{plain}\@starttoc}{}{}
\patchcmd{\listoftables}{\@starttoc}{\thispagestyle{plain}\@starttoc}{}{}
\makeatother

or by letting the empty page style be equivalent to the plain page style:

\makeatletter
\let\ps@empty\ps@plain
\makeatother

Either of the above, inserted in the preamble somewhere should work.
