[Tex/LaTex] classic thesis: consecutive numbering of all pages from the title page to the very last page

classicthesispage-numbering

The classic thesis has two types of numbering in one document: the first numbering system is from the title page (i.e., page 1) to the list of tables; the second numbering system starts from the first page of Chapter 1 where page number starts from 1 again. But the thesis
presentation regulation in our university requires "Every page of the thesis must be numbered consecutively from beginning to end, beginning with the title page and including pages of diagrams, photographs, and the appendices."

I tried to search the answer for making consecutive page numbering for all pages, but could not find it.

Does anyone knows how to solve the problem?

Most likely it is \pagenumbering that is causing this resetting of the page counter. The easiest is to redefine it to do nothing but change the display rather than also resetting the page counter. As such, add

\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\pagenumbering}[1]{\gdef\thepage{\csname @#1\endcsname\c@page}}
\makeatother

to your preamble.
