 * How do I make the footnote numbering continuous through the site instead of starting
   from 1 on each page?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcontinuous-numbering%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * There isn’t currently anyway to do this within Easy Footnotes. The footnotes 
   are output on each individual post and numbered based on the number of times 
   the shortcode is used on that post.
 * In order to get numbers to be consistent throughout all archive and single post
   pages the notes would need to be ssaved into the database.

 * I would like to second this request. It would be great to have a “start=x” parameter
   on the shortcode to specify the starting number of the footnotes on a page/post
   and so have continuous numbering across pages/posts.
