Download

Installation

2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.
3. Go to the WP mathjax menu in Settings and set your options.

How to use

WP Mathjax is smart enough that loads mathjax.js only when your posts contain mathjax syntax, by detecting the use of shortcode and block. So it will not be loaded on your website everywhere.

Shortcode

In classic editor, you can use the shortcode to render your mathjax syntax. If you are using WordPress version below 5.0, this is the only way you can use this feature.

[mathjax]
x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a}.
[/mathjax]

Gutenberg Block

Choose a mathjax block:

Fill in your mathjax syntax in the editor.
