How to turn on numbers on the first pages of my sections?

Question

Here is my code:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,times,numbered,print,index, oneside]{Classes/PhDThesisPSnPDF}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\begin{document}
\frontmatter
\begin{titlepage}
\maketitle
\end{titlepage}
\include{Abstract/abstract}

\tableofcontents
\listoffigures
\listoftables
\printnomenclature

\mainmatter

my text
\end{document}

So the structure of my document is the following:

1. The title page (treated as the first one in roman numbers, but the number isn't displayed).

2. The table of contets, abstract, etc. (not the main part of my thesis)- numbered using roman numbers.

3. My main thesis-numbered using arabic numbers.

I'd like to have a roman number on each page of the second part of my text. However, roman numbers aren't displayed on the page if this is the first page of a section (i.e. the abstract or the list of figures).

How can I diable this bevaviour? I'd like to have all my roman numbers (excpet for the title).

If you are willing to live risky, you can add the following after your title page.

I cannot recommend that solution, though. It is against the design of the template. The author must have had some reasoning when coming up with that.

Basically, that replaces all instances of an empty page with a plain page. All of them after you do this.

\makeatletter
\let\ps@empty\ps@plain
\makeatother
