I have a ten page LaTeX document in which only the first page number shows (i.e., 1). The rest of the page numbering does not show. How can I fix this?

In the line after begin document, do the follows:
\begin{document}
\pagenumbering{gobble}
Do the title and author before this.
Then, on the actual first page, do:
\newpage
\pagenumbering{arabic}
You can define a new page style using \fancypagestyle{<name>}{<commands>} to get rid of other headers/footers and leave the page number, and then use \thispagestyle{<name>} at the desired locations:
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{tocloft}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\fancypagestyle{myplain}
{
\fancyhf{}
\renewcommand\headrulewidth{0pt}
\renewcommand\footrulewidth{0pt}
\fancyfoot[C]{\thepage}
}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[CO]{\nouppercase\leftmark}
\fancyhead[CE]{\hdrtitle}
\fancyhead[LE,RO]{\thepage}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand\sectionmark[1]{\markboth{#1}{}}%don't move this
\setcounter{section}{-1}
\title{The Title}
\author{The Author}
\makeatletter
\let\hdrtitle\@title
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\thispagestyle{empty}
\newpage
\section{Preface}
\thispagestyle{myplain}
\pagenumbering{roman}
\lipsum[1-3]
\newpage
\section{Start From Here}
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\lipsum[1-5]
\section{And So On...}
\lipsum[1-5]
\end{document}
The solution above will work if the preface is one page long; if the preface spans more than one page, you could define two styles: for example, myplain (with only the page number (I assumed it should be centered in the footer, but you can easily change this)), and myfancy (with your header/footer and rules); then you can use \pagestyle{<style>} at appropriate locations to switch styles:
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{tocloft}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\fancypagestyle{myplain}
{
\fancyhf{}
\renewcommand\headrulewidth{0pt}
\renewcommand\footrulewidth{0pt}
\fancyfoot[C]{\thepage}
}
\fancypagestyle{myfancy}{
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[CO]{\nouppercase\leftmark}
\fancyhead[CE]{\hdrtitle}
\fancyhead[LE,RO]{\thepage}
\renewcommand\headrulewidth{0.4pt}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand\sectionmark[1]{\markboth{##1}{}}%don't move this
}
\setcounter{section}{-1}
\title{The Title}
\author{The Author}
\makeatletter
\let\hdrtitle\@title
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\thispagestyle{empty}
\newpage
\pagestyle{myplain}
\pagenumbering{roman}
\section{Preface}
\lipsum[1-10]
\newpage
\pagestyle{myfancy}
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\section{Start From Here}
\lipsum[1-5]
\section{And So On...}
\lipsum[1-5]
\end{document}
Perhaps you could be interested in using the book document class and its \frontmatter, \mainmatter, \backmatter commands? (using \chapter as the high level sectional unit, of course).
Best Answer
Most likely you have
\pagestyle{empty}in your document. Remove that line and by default you will get page numbers on every page.
