I need to setup page number right side of the footer. It's ok in the second page of a chapter.

But in chapter title page, page number showing in the center of that page.

This is my MWE:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{report}
\usepackage[left=1.5in,right=1in,top=1in,bottom=1in,includefoot,heightrounded]{geometry}
\usepackage{lipsum} 
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.3}
\usepackage{titlesec}

\titleformat{\chapter}[display]{\normalfont\huge\bfseries\centering}{\chaptertitlename\ \thechapter}{20pt}{\Huge}
\titlespacing{\chapter}{0pt}{0pt}{1cm}

\begin{document}
\begin{center}
{\huge \textbf{ Abstract}}
\end{center}
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Abstract}
\lipsum[2-4]
\pagenumbering{roman}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyfoot{}
\fancyfoot[R]{\thepage}

\fancyhead[L]{\textit{\chaptername\thechapter}}

\chapter{Introduction}

\pagenumbering{arabic}
\setcounter{page}{1}
\lipsum[2-4]
\lipsum[2-4]
\end{document}

Please tell me the solution.

  • Unrelated: do you really want to have Chapter 1 on both sides of the header?

  • No. I don't need that . Acutally i need chapter 1 in left and chapter name such as Introduction on right. But this is not the problem for me.

  • Add \thispagestyle{fancy} after of \chapter{...}

Since you load titlesec, it's much simpler to load it with option pagestyles and use titleps. You have to redefine the plain page style, which is used in the first page of a chapter. Redefining a page style is particularly easy with titleps:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{report}
\usepackage[left=1.5in,right=1in,top=1in,bottom=1in,includefoot,heightrounded]{geometry}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.3}
\usepackage[pagestyles]{titlesec}
\newpagestyle{mine}{%
\headrule
\sethead{\itshape\chaptername\thechapter}{}{\itshape\chaptertitle}
\setfoot{}{}{\thepage}}%

\renewpagestyle{plain}{%
\setfoot{}{}{\thepage}}%

\titleformat{\chapter}[display]{\normalfont\huge\bfseries\centering}{\chaptertitlename\ \thechapter}{20pt}{\Huge}
\titlespacing{\chapter}{0pt}{0pt}{1cm}
\pagenumbering{roman}
\pagestyle{mine}
\begin{document}

\chapter{Introduction}

\pagenumbering{arabic}
\setcounter{page}{1}
\lipsum[2-10]

\end{document}

  • Will your real abstract fit on a single page?

    Why don't you use \chapter{Abstract} in this case? It would use the redefined plain page style.

You need to redefine the page style plain used on the chapter title page like:

\fancypagestyle{plain}{% <==============================================
  \fancyhf{}
  \fancyfoot[R]{\thepage}
  \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
  \renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}%
}

With the complete code 

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{report}

\usepackage[%
  left=1.5in,right=1in,top=1in,bottom=1in,
  includefoot,heightrounded
]{geometry}
\usepackage{lipsum} 
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.3}
\usepackage{titlesec}

\titleformat{\chapter}[display]{\normalfont\huge\bfseries\centering}{\chaptertitlename\ \thechapter}{20pt}{\Huge}
\titlespacing{\chapter}{0pt}{0pt}{1cm}

\fancypagestyle{plain}{% <==============================================
  \fancyhf{}
  \fancyfoot[R]{\thepage}
  \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
  \renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}%
}

\begin{document}
\pagenumbering{roman}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyfoot{}
\fancyfoot[R]{\thepage}

\fancyhead[L]{\textit{\chaptername\thechapter}}

\chapter{Introduction}

\pagenumbering{arabic}
\setcounter{page}{1}
\lipsum[2-4]
\lipsum[2-4]
\end{document}

you get:

enter image description here

Update:

To add an chapter/abstract before chapter 1 please change your used code to:

%\begin{center} % <======================================================
\chapter*{Abstract} % <============================= usualy not numbered!
%\end{center}
%\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Abstract}
\lipsum[2-4] % <========================================================

With the complete code 

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{report}

\usepackage[%
  left=1.5in,right=1in,top=1in,bottom=1in,
  includefoot,heightrounded
]{geometry}
\usepackage{lipsum} 
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.3}
\usepackage{titlesec}

\titleformat{\chapter}[display]{\normalfont\huge\bfseries\centering}{\chaptertitlename\ \thechapter}{20pt}{\Huge}
\titlespacing{\chapter}{0pt}{0pt}{1cm}

\fancypagestyle{plain}{% <==============================================
  \fancyhf{}
  \fancyfoot[R]{\thepage}
  \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
  \renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}%
}


\begin{document}
\pagenumbering{roman}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyfoot{}
\fancyfoot[R]{\thepage}

\fancyhead[L]{\textit{\chaptername\thechapter}}

%\begin{center} % <======================================================
\chapter*{Abstract}
%\end{center}
%\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Abstract}
\lipsum[2-4] % <========================================================

\chapter{Introduction}

\pagenumbering{arabic}
\setcounter{page}{1}
\lipsum[2-4]
\lipsum[2-4]
\end{document}

you get then:

abstract
