Enabling moderncv page numbering

Question

I'm wondering how to enable the page numbering in moderncv. The default option doesn't show the page numbers.

---

EDIT

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,sans]{moderncv}
\moderncvstyle{classic}
\moderncvcolor{blue}

\usepackage{graphicx}
\graphicspath{ {Immagini/} }

\begin{document}
here there is some text    
\end{document}

Answer 1

You can use fancyhdr. With the option of the command \fancyfoot you can control the positioning of the page number in the footer

• L on the left
• R on the right
• C in the center

As the argument of the command you can simply give \thepage. This results in

\fancyfoot[C]{\thepage}

You can also achieve something something more elaborated. For example, using the package lastpage you can print something like page 1 of 5, by defining the footer in the following way:

\fancyfoot[C]{\thepage{} of \pageref{LastPage}}

Or (something that I do), you can print in the footer the consent to the personal data processing (when needed).

In the following MWE you can chose between the two

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,sans]{moderncv}
\moderncvstyle{classic}

\usepackage{lastpage}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
% \fancyfoot[C]{\thepage} % only page number
\fancyfoot[C]{\thepage{} of \pageref{LastPage}}

\name{John}{Doe}

\begin{document}
\maketitle
\end{document}

Page number only:

Page 1 of n:

Answer 2

In your used style classic is no footer inserted, it is simply not part of the design of the page or CV.

In style casual an footer, including pagenumber and personal datas, is inserted and part of the layout of that style. Then package fancyhdr is used.

To get a pagenumber in classic style you can simply load and use fancyhdr like:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,sans]{moderncv}

\moderncvstyle{classic}
\moderncvcolor{blue}

\usepackage{graphicx}
\graphicspath{ {Immagini/} }

\usepackage{fancyhdr} % <=============================================== loading package
\pagestyle{plain} % <=================================================== choosing style
\fancyfoot[C]{\thepage} % <============================================= adding page number

\name{John}{Doe}


\begin{document}

here there is some text    
\end{document}

with the resulting pdf:

Please see that command \nopagenumbers{} is only working with style casual ...
