How do I move the page numbers to exactly .75 inch from the bottom of the page? I have opted to use a KOMA class and not use fancyhdr. I have included several sections with the non-standard page numbering that I don't want impacted by moving the page number higher.
MWE:
\documentclass[
oneside,
12pt,
numbers=noenddot,
listof=entryprefix,
listof=totoc,
bibliography=totoc,
index=totoc,
footinclude,
footheight=.75in
]{scrbook}[2017/01/03]
%\usepackage{showframe} I don't see a footer with this. Why?

did not override the KOMA footer settings. I am thinking that it is in it's own layer.footskip
(consisting of foot and skip).
