I have a page that have only a single figure (consisting of many images) on it and its caption. I want to put a footnote on the same page. I used some suggestions mentioned at SO like this one which gives the following MWE:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
   \centering
   \includegraphics{foo}  ...
   \caption[Caption for LOF]{Real caption\protect\footnotemark}
\end{figure}

\footnotetext{blah blah blah}

\end{document}

PROBLEM: The footnote comes on the previous page that does not have figure and contains only text.

    latex doesn't support foonotes on float pages (from [p]) so you could try to force it to be on a text page by using \begin{figure}[!h] or definitely force it with [H] from float package) (not tested as you haven't provided a usable example...)

  • @touhami that's because the example posted isn't an example of the problem (complain to the OP:-)

The posted example does not relate to the problem as the footnote comes on the same page as the figure.

I would guess you have

\documentclass{article}


\begin{document}

\begin{figure}%[!ht]
   \centering
    \rule{1cm}{15cm}
   \caption[Caption for LOF]{Real caption\protect\footnotemark}
\end{figure}

\footnotetext{blah blah blah}

\end{document}

where the figure is on page 2 and the footnote on page 1.

If you uncomment [!ht] then it all comes on to one page.

  • I do have [!ht] after \begin{figure} in my figures but still the footnote is present on the above page which contains text.

    @skm You have been on the site long enough to know: no proper example, no proper answer. Take the example in this answer and modify it to show the problem you have. Then fix your question so the example is an example of the problem that you are asking about

  • @skm you should not usually have [!ht] it is only for rare occasions where you need to force some behaviour (!ht disables float pages so makes it more likely that all floats go to the end of the document or \clearpage, which is probably what has happened in your case)
