Try this code:
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\fancyhf{}
\lhead{\itshape BA TOPIC}
\chead{\itshape{\nouppercase{\leftmark}}}
\rhead{\thepage}
\lfoot{}
\cfoot{}
\rfoot{}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}
\usepackage[ocgcolorlinks]{hyperref}
\usepackage{bookmark}
\usepackage{lipsum} %% for dummy text
\begin{document}
\frontmatter
\pagestyle{plain}
%Titlepage
%\input{title.tex}
%ToC etc
\tableofcontents
\listoffigures
\listoftables
\cleardoublepage
\pagestyle{fancy}
%define header style for chapter pages and put it here
\fancypagestyle{plain}{%
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[L]{\itshape{BA THEMA}}
\fancyhead[C]{}
\fancyhead[R]{\thepage}
}
\mainmatter
% actual Content
\chapter{Einleitung}
\lipsum[1]
\section{Some section}
\lipsum[2-8]
\chapter{Second}
\lipsum[1]
\section{Some other section}
\lipsum
\end{document}
You can define a fancy page style like:
\fancypagestyle{myfancy}{%
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[L]{<your settings>}
\fancyhead[C]{<your settings>}
\fancyhead[R]{<your settings>}
\fancyfoot[L]{<your settings>}
\fancyfoot[C]{<your settings>}
\fancyfoot[R]{<your settings>}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}
}
and use it as \pagestyle{myfancy}. But if you want to change the page style of chapter pages, you should do it by changing the plain style as shown above.
When you compile your code, you get this warning:
Package Fancyhdr Warning: \headheight is too small (12.0pt):
Make it at least 14.49998pt.
We now make it that large for the rest of the document.
This may cause the page layout to be inconsistent, however.
Hence you have to give proper headheight and better way of doing this is through geometry package:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{text={7in,9.5in}
,headheight=15pt
}
%\textwidth = 7 in
%\textheight = 9.5 in
%\oddsidemargin = -0.25 in
%\evensidemargin = 0.0 in
%\topmargin = -0.25 in
%\headheight = 0.0 in
%\headsep = 0.0 in
\setlength{\parskip}{0.1in}
\setlength{\parindent}{0.0in}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\lhead{}
\rhead{my name}
\cfoot{\thepage}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.4pt}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\Blinddocument
\end{document}
For your case, ideal will be to use
\geometry{text={7in,9.5in}
,headheight=15pt
,headsep=0.1in
,includehead
}

The default page style -
plain- is used throughoutarticle, even if\maketitleis used. To be sure though, you could addto your preamble, which will ensure the first page uses
plain(as a result of\thispagestyle) and subsequent pages usefancy(as a result of\pagestyle;\thispagestyleoverrides\pagestyle).Here's a complete minimal example:
Another option might be to use
afterpagewhich you can use to set the page style of page following the one containing the\afterpagecommand. However,\afterpagesets its contents in a group, which doesn't allow a regular\pagestyleto survive. For that, you could use some other trickery, as discussed in Page styles only work for\thispagestyleunderafterpage.
