fancyhdrheader-footerpage-numbering
I am using fancyhdr and this is my preamble. The first page still has 1 in the footer while other pages have Page 2, Page 3 and so on. How to remove the 1 on the first page?
\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[scale=0.82]{geometry}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\fontencoding{T1}
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{}
\lhead{something here}
\cfoot{Page \thepage}
If you don't set a proper head height, fancyhdr reports the following:
Package Fancyhdr Warning: \headheight is too small (XX.Xpt):
Make it at least YY.YYYYpt.
We now make it that large for the rest of the document.
This may cause the page layout to be inconsistent, however.
As such, the newly-set \headheight will be the same throughout the document. To avoid this, I've created the following minimal document that sets a consistent head height, adding a vertical space (gap) on the first page to simulate a larger header:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fancyhdr,datetime,geometry,lipsum,graphicx}

I've used geometry to adjust the page layout - it's just easier/more convenient.
If you don't want to redefine plain (even temporarily), you can redefine thebibliography (from apacite.sty).
\documentclass[12pt]{report}
\usepackage[natbibapa]{apacite}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\fancyhf{}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\fancyhead[R]{\thepage}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\makeatletter
\def\thebibliography#1{%
\@ifundefined{chapter}%
{\st@rtbibsection}%
{\if@sectionbibdefault
{\@ifundefined{@mainmatterfalse}%
{\st@rtbibchapter\thispagestyle{fancy}}%

\else
\st@rtbibchapter\thispagestyle{fancy}%
\fi

}%
\else
\if@sectionbib

\fi
}%
\bibliographytypesize % e.g., to put the bibliography in \small type
\bibliographyprenote % some explanatory note before the references
\@ifundefined{APAC@metaprenote@\APAC@extra@b@citeb}%
{}% skip

\list{\relax}{\labelsep=\biblabelsep
\parsep=\bibparsep
\itemsep=\bibitemsep

\itemindent=\bibindent}% changed to cope with 4th ed.
\def\newblock{\hskip .11em plus .33em minus .07em}%
\sloppy\clubpenalty4000\widowpenalty4000
\sfcode`\.=1000\relax %'
\bt@beg@thb@hook
\APACrestorebibitem
}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\chapter{Test}
\thispagestyle{fancy} %% This works
\lipsum[1-4]
\citep{R, lme4, MCMCglmm, MASS, lmerTest, gplots, foreign, CAR, brms}
\bibliographystyle{apacite}
\bibliography{references}
\end{document}
Alternatively, you could just add
\makeatletter
\let\ps@plain=\ps@fancy
\makeatother
just before the bibliography.

You're probably also issuing
\maketitle, which issues\thispagestyle{plain}. Theplainpage style inserts the footer only (as\thepage). As such, you can override this and issue\thispagestyle{empty}immediately after\maketitle:
