I am trying to get a table of contents based on the page number (in the footer on the right side) but in some strange way it is counting from the wrong start. It says page 3 instead of 2 and page 4 instead of 3. I have played with the positions of the code but nothing seems to help.

This is my code:

documentclass[11pt, A4]{article}

usepackage[a4paper,top=2cm,hmargin=2cm,bottom=2.9cm,]{geometry}

usepackage{tikz}

usepackage{tikzpagenodes}

usetikzlibrary{calc}

usepackage{fancyhdr}

usepackage{graphicx}

usepackage{xcolor}

usepackage{colortbl}

usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

usepackage{titletoc}

usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

usepackage{sectsty}

usepackage{float}

usepackage{atbegshi}

    node[yshift=1.75cm] at (17, 24.5) {};

    draw [line width=0.55mm] (-0.5,-23.5) -- (16.5,-23.5);

    node[yshift=1.75cm, text=red] at (1.5, -26) {Test};

    node[yshift=1.75cm, text=gray] at (15, -26) {2019-03-21} ;

    node[fill=black, text=white, yshift=1.75cm] at (17, -25.5)             {thepage};

    fill[bcsred]

    ([yshift=-30pt]current page.south east|-current page text area.south east) --

end{tikzpicture}%

}

end{document}

The code in the question uses the page number during the AtBeginShipout call. This is tricky because the page counter is modified by different macros and hooks at various times, which makes it difficult to always get the correct value during page shipout.

As an alternative you can use a custom counter that is displayed and increased in the Footer macro, which is responsible for the page number in the box, independent from the actual page counter. The 'real' page counter is still used for the numbers in the Table of Contents.

Partial code:

newcounter{mypagenumber}

setcounter{mypagenumber}{1}

newcommandFooter{%

begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture, overlay]

    node[yshift=1.75cm] at (17, 24.5) {};

    draw [line width=0.55mm] (-0.5,-23.5) -- (16.5,-23.5);

    node[yshift=1.75cm, text=red] at (1.5, -26) {Test};

    node[yshift=1.75cm, text=gray] at (15, -26) {2019-03-21} ;

    node[fill=black, text=white, yshift=1.75cm] at (17, -25.5) {themypagenumber};

    fill[bcsred]

    (current page.south west) -- (current page.south east) --

    ([yshift=-30pt]current page.south east|-current page text area.south east) --

    ([yshift=-30pt]current page.south west|-current page text area.south west) -- cycle;

end{tikzpicture}%

stepcounter{mypagenumber}

}

Result:

The next pages also show the correct number, consistent with the Table of Contents (i.e., 2, 3, etc., not shown in the screenshot).

Note that there is a different problem with the footer macro that adds an empty page with only a header and footer at the end, but that is most likely unrelated to the page counter issue.
