How to remove footnotes numbering for ebook

Question

I can't seem to figure out how to remove the footnote numbering in ebook. I tried unchecking the box in the settings that says restart every after....

also, the footnote para style doesn't have numbers. This started as endnotes but for some reason indesign can't export maybe because there are 91 endnotes...so I converted it to footnotes and now I have this problem.

PLEASE HELP!

It looks as if you have a numbering style applied to the paragraph style used for the footnotes, whether intentionally or not.

Try creating a completely new style for footnotes, starting with your base body style, and apply it. That should clear any extraneous attributes.

FWIW, footnotes and endnotes are fragile and subject to all kinds of problems in EPUB export. This is especially true when you've done things like convert one to the other or done anything to override or change the standard numbering.

But try the "fresh new style" and see if that helps; report back the details and we'll try again if necessary. 🙂
