I decided to use usepackage[center]{titlesec} in order to center my sections, but I don't want them displaying the chapter/section numbering in the chapter/section headings so I applied the titleformat. But with this new macro, it erased the [center] command.



documentclass[14pt]{memoir}

usepackage[center]{titlesec}
usepackage{lipsum}

titleformat{chapter}
{Largebfseries}
{}
{0pt}
{huge}

titleformat{section}
{Largebfseries}
{}
{0pt}
{large}

begin{document}

tableofcontents

chapter{This shouldn't be centered}
clearpage
section{This should be centered}
lipsum[1]
subsection{This should be centered}
Nothing to see here.
end{document}


Result:

  • I tried it and saw that chapter{This shouldn't be centered} actually centered. Oh well but once I removed centering it was all good!... But the numbers came back.

  • I found an answer elsewhere and used setsecnumdepth{none} maxsecnumdepth{none} instead of setcounter{secnumdepth}{0} and now it worked (as for removing the darn numbers).
