I am using KOMA-Script with the scrbook class. I want all my chapters headings prefixed with "Chapter", but I don't want the "Chapter" prefix in headers. I can't figure out how to change the headers.

I only want to remove the prefix here (top of each page):

But I want to keep the prefix here:

Here is the code. A pure KOMA-script solution is preferable.

\documentclass[headings=standardclasses, oneside]{scrbook}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\chapter{My Chapter Title}
\lipsum[1-5]
\end{document}

Have you looked at the documentation (Ch. 5 "Headers and footers")? You need to redefine \chaptermarkformat: \renewcommand*{\chaptermarkformat}{}. The default is \chapappifchapterprefix{\ }\thechapter\autodot\enskip, yielding "Chapter 1 My Chapter Title" as in your example. – marquinho Feb 26 '22 at 19:51

Thank you! I searched and searched in the documentation, but couldn't find this! How do I close this as a duplicate? – MyComputer Feb 26 '22 at 20:17

No need, moderators or high-rep users will see to it in due time. – marquinho Feb 26 '22 at 20:32
For me with scrreprt, \chaptermarkformat has no effect. I use \renewcommand\chaptermark[1]{\markboth{\thechapter\autodot\enskip#1}{}}. – Vincent Krebs May 19 '22 at 23:50
