How to get rid of the default page numbering when using `fancyhdr`

Question

I want to put my page numbering at the right bottom by using \rfoot in fancyhdr, but everytime I use it, the default page numbering appears at the central bottom which makes the page having two page numbering at a time. Does anybody know how to fix it?

Answer 1

You have to tell fancyhdr that you want nothing in the "central field"

\cfoot{}\rfoot{\thepage}
