[Tex/LaTex] How to show page number on page 1

header-footerieeetrannumbering

I'm writing a technical paper to an IEEE conference, which requires the paper pages to be numbered, from what I understood. I'm using \pagestyle{plain}, which seems to work only from page 2 and on. The number on page 1 is not shown. Here is a minimal example:

\documentclass[10pt, conference, compsocconf, letterpaper]{IEEEtran}
\pagestyle{plain}
\usepackage[numbers]{natbib}
\begin{document}
\title {Paper title\\[-3.0ex]}
\maketitle
    text
\clearpage
    text
\clearpage
    text
\end{document}

How can I make the page number appear in all pages, including page 1?

Another question, to those familiar with the IEEEtran template: Is the page number 1 actually supposed to appear on the first page, as I'm suspecting?

Best Answer

I would recommend against customizing the layout if you want to submit this to a conference. Adding \thispagestyle{plain} will indeed show the page number at the bottom, but if you look at the documentation you will find that page numbers are omitted in conference mode. Removing the \\[-3.0ex] after the title is also a good idea (try adding \IEEEspecialpapernotice{(Invited Paper)} and you'll see why).
