Page 3 in the footer on page 3 is 1 not 3 and when I change it too 3 in footer page 1 in the footer gets changed too page 3.
How did I cause this or do wrong?
I just typed the number in the footer and correct number for that page,
which is exactly all that should be needed.
Maybe your document was created and/or edited in Microsoft Word. The Word can not handle the Page sytyles, therefore every page will have individual Page Style in the LibreOffice, and maybe they will have a restarted page numbering.
Can you upload an ODF type sample file here?
In the menu, click Insert - Page number and choose the position and type
“Maybe your document was created and/or edited in Microsoft Word”
False assumption because I don’t have or use Microsoft word.
“In the menu, click Insert - Page number and choose the position and type”
Didn’t work!

No it is not “all that should be needed”. By definition, a footer is a style formatting object, that is repeated on all pages having that style. When you put any data there, it is repeated on all pages - so putting a static text in footer will give you that static text on all pages having that style (and hence, that footer).
What is needed are:
page number field in the footer (similarly to what I explained above, the field will appear in all the footers on all the pages having that style; however, having a field doesn’t mean that all the field instances will have the same appearance - they will reflect current page number every time);What didn’t work?
Did it enter anything?
Did you get a number on just one page?
The same number on all pages, or another page?
Best to upload a sample document showing the issue but without any personal information
If it is based on Appeal.odt from How to get rid of the "itAlso"? - #17 by iavswn then there is a frame covering the footer so you would not see the page number.
If you want to put the page number in the frame at the bottom of the page then click in the frame and then click Insert > Field > Page number
Doing exactly as you said.
I already answered this. I said, “Page 3 in the footer on page 3 is 1 not 3 and when I change it too 3 in footer page 1 in the footer gets changed too page 3.”
That’s not what I said.
I never said this document is that document.
I want it to be in the footer where its suppose to be.

I ask questions and I get pointless answers comments. Goodbye!

“Misinterpretation” means you did an astonishingly poor job describing yourself - both what you did (possibly you used an insert page number wizard - but that became possible to guess only after you posted a screenshot) and what your see… and people tried to guess the rest out of your scarce data, and ask for missing bits. The only one attacking here is yourself; and you also ignored any common sense, flooding the thread with multiple disconnected short comments, each not answering anything - as if you used WhatsApp or something, ignoring rules… I can only second @EarnestAl: goodbye, and continue fighting as much as you like: the sooner you understand that it’s more useful to try to improve your question, instead of trying to defend that you are golden, the better for your own good (meaning, only then you may possibly get an answer useful for you - unless your only goal wasn’t getting an answer, but creating a thread where you could attack others who didn’t understand you).

" and you also ignored any common sense"
Common sense says I should do as I am instructed,
which is in fact what I did.
