scrlayer-scrpage - chapter on even pages, section on odd pages

Question

I know there are related questions, but I am still not getting it to work.

I have a long document with 3 chapters, and in each chapter, there are sections such as "1.2.3" for Chapter 1, section 2.3.

I need the chapters to appear on even pages, on the right. The section (only the first level, i.e. 1.2) needs to appear odd pages, on the left.

I used the following code:

\documentclass[DIV12, a4paper, 12pt, listof=totocnumbered, bibliography=totoc]{book}
\title{Dissertation}
\author{xx}
\usepackage{a4wide}
\usepackage{datetime}
\usepackage{lscape}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[onehalfspacing]{setspace}

\usepackage{eurosym, calc, chngcntr}
\usepackage{amsmath, amssymb, amsfonts, amsthm, bm}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\DeclareMathOperator*{\argmin}{arg\,min}
\DeclareMathOperator*{\argmax}{arg\,max}
\usepackage[skip=5pt]{caption} %add labelfont={bf} as option to make 'Table 1.x' or 'Figure 3.x' bold (but not rest of caption)
\usepackage{mdwlist}

\DeclareUnicodeCharacter{FB02}{fl}
\usepackage{setspace,geometry}

\geometry{a4paper, headsep=0.6cm, left=33mm, right=33mm, top=25mm, bottom=20mm} %headsep verschiebt die Kopfzeile (Standard ist etwa bei 1cm)



% Kopfzeile anpassen
\usepackage[autooneside=false,headsepline]{scrlayer-scrpage}% Default headsepline width = 0.4pt
\automark[subsection]{section}
\clearscrheadfoot
\cfoot[\pagemark]{\pagemark}
\ohead{\ifstr{\rightbotmark}{\leftmark}{}{\rightbotmark}}
\ihead{\MakeTextUppercase{\leftmark}}

Answer 1

You can use

\usepackage[automark,headsepline]{scrlayer-scrpage}
\clearpairofpagestyles
\cfoot*{\pagemark}
\ihead{\headmark}

\clearpairofpagestyles replaces the outdated \clearscrheadfoot. \cfoot*{\pagemark} is a short version of \cfoot[\pagemark]{\pagemark}. If there should be no chapter prefix in header add

\renewcommand\chaptermarkformat{\thechapter.\enskip}

Example without the unrelated stuff:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{book}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{headsep=0.6cm, left=33mm, right=33mm, top=25mm, bottom=20mm,
  headheight=14.5pt% <- added
}

\usepackage[automark,headsepline]{scrlayer-scrpage}
\clearpairofpagestyles
\cfoot*{\pagemark}
\ihead{\headmark}
\renewcommand\chaptermarkformat{\thechapter.\enskip}

\usepackage{blindtext}% only for dummy text

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\Blinddocument\Blinddocument\Blinddocument
\Blinddocument\Blinddocument\Blinddocument
\end{document}

Additional remark: You have to clean up your preamble. You load the standard class book - so you have to remove the KOMA-Script options DIV=12, listof=totocnumbered and bibliography=totoc. Package a4wide is outdated and useless in the example because you are using geometry. Do not load packages twice (graphicx, amsfonts, eurosym, tabularx, booktabs). Package pgfplots loads packages tikz, xcolor, graphicx, rotating automatically. With an uptodate TeX distribution package chngcntr and package inputenc with option utf8 are not needed.
