I would like footnote numbering to continue over pages and chapters. In my document it's reset every chapter. I'm using the report documentclass.

Use \counterwithout.
\documentclass{report}
\counterwithout{footnote}{chapter}
\begin{document}
\chapter{foo}
Some text.\footnote{The first footnote.}
\chapter{bar}
Some text.\footnote{The second footnote.}
\end{document}

14In a current LaTeX (not older than 2018-04-01),
\counterwithoutis part of the kernel, so the\usepackage{chngcntr}is not needed any more. See latex-project.org/news/latex2e-news/ltnews28.pdf– moeweCommented Jan 11, 2019 at 15:33 -
This did not work in my case... I am using University of Chicago's ETD document class from here: github.com/mvzink/ucetd-latex Commented Mar 2, 2020 at 17:25

If you use
\counterwithoutwith current LaTeX, avoid loadingchngcntrpackage, because it messes up numbers of references to figures.– mmjCommented Mar 9, 2020 at 16:37
\counterwithout{footnote}{chapter} provides a separate sequence of footnote numbers in each chapter, apparently only if the chapter does not contain sections, which each have a different sequence of footnotes, using letters instead of numbers, without being commanded to do so.

This isn't what
\counterwithoutdoes and, if it was, this wouldn't answer the question, while, if it doesn't, it's just duplicating the existing answer.– cfrCommented Nov 2, 2023 at 4:38
