I am using the sbl-paper
package for a seminar paper, and I need to have the page number on the first page of the body centered at the bottom of the page. I have looked through the other questions on stack exchange, but I cannot find a solution that works for my needs:
\documentclass[]{turabian-researchpaper}
\usepackage{sbl-paper}
\usepackage[backend=biber]{biblatex}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Times New Roman}
\begin{document}
\institution{A Degree Granting Institution}
\title{The Title of the Paper}
\professor{The name of the professor}
\course{Course number and name}
\author{The Author}
\date{April 26, 2018}
\maketitle
\setcounter{page}{1}
\singlespacing
This is the first paragraph of the introduction.
\end{document}

Best Answer
The
sbl-paper
package uses thefancyhdr
package to place the page number on the right side of the header of each page. The specific code used bysbl-paper.sty
:The
turabian-researchpaper
document class, according to theturabian-formatting
documentation, provides three page standard styles that can be used with the\pagestyle{}
and\thispagestyle{}
commands:empty
,plain
, andheading
. Theplain
page style "centres the page number in the footer."As Bernard suggested above, placing "
\thispagestyle{plain}
just after\maketitle
" should work.
