Description

This wordpress plugin is yet another simple plugin to load the MathJax scripts at the bottom of all of your pages. It uses a very all-inclusive mathjax configuration by default, with $’s and $$’s the default delimeters for in-line and displayed equations.

A preference pane is added to the “Settings” group where you can choose whether to use MathJax version 2 or 3, change the MathJax server location (CDN) and the MathJax configuration settings. (See this page for details on the options available.)
You can also specify a LaTeX “preamble” of newcommands which will be loaded in a hidden element near the top of each page.

Fork this plugin on GitHub.

The plugin is great, but it’s not compatible with WP6.7, I used math symbols in $xxx$ format in the text, and it still shows $xxx$, no change, it only shows the formula correctly when I use math symbols in $$xxx$$! Still need to wait for the update

This plugin has been very useful for our website. It simply works, and it works well. We have been able to add some customization (for example to number the equations) without problem. I highly recommended it if you want to have MathJax in your wordpress site!

Really like this plugin. It’s quick and very easy to use; the best Latex plugin I’ve tried. I initially had a problem where I only wanted to load the Mathjax on certain pages, and I found the solution was to install a separate plugin which lets you toggle all of your other plugins on and off on each page/post. ‘Plugin Load Filter’ worked for me, but it might not be useful to everyone though.
