This plugin can let you add mathematical equations to your posts using latex. 
Google chart API is used in this plugin to turn the latex strings to equation images. 
The equation images will be stored on your site, so it will be efficient.
To add equations in your articles, just surround the latex script with <code>[eq]</code> and <code>[/eq]</code> tags. 
For example, add following codes <code>[eq]\alpha+\beta\geq\gamma[/eq]</code> in your posts.

Google Equation for WordPress

Using Google chart API for LaTeX to add mathematical equations as images.

WPMathPub renders mathematical equations in WordPress using the Mathpublisher rendering engine, supporting both native pmath syntax and LaTeX-style input. It generates fast, high-quality PNG images with halo-free transparent backgrounds for reliable display across posts, pages, comments, and RSS feeds.
The plugin also includes Math-Pub Rosetta, a standalone app built on the same Mathpublisher engine. Rosetta mirrors WPMathPub’s behavior outside WordPress, allowing users to publish math anywhere – as a WPMathPub pmath tag learning tool, as a gateway to any LaTeX-enabled document (including Microsoft Office and Overleaf), or directly in WordPress comments. (<a href="https://math-pub.org/mathpub-rosetta/rosetta.php" rel="nofollow ugc">Launch the Rosetta app</a>)
Unlike MathJax-based plugins, WPMathPub performs server-side rendering, producing static equation images that display consistently across browsers and devices without requiring client-side JavaScript.
This approach provides reliable rendering for:
<ul>
<li>WordPress posts, pages, and comments</li>
<li>Cached pages</li>
<li>Environments where JavaScript rendering is not desirable</li>
<li>RSS feeds and feed aggregators <a href="https://www.biophysicslab.com/2026/04/11/wpmathpub-latex-math-in-social-networks/" rel="nofollow ugc">RSS example</a></li>
</ul>
WPMathPub extends the classic mathpublisher engine with modern WordPress integration including shortcode support, LaTeX translation, image caching, and configurable rendering options.
<h3>Mathematical Equation Rendering</h3>
Mathematical expressions can be embedded directly into WordPress content using the pmath shortcode.
Basic native usage:
<pre><code>[pmath]x^2 + y^2 = z^2[/pmath]
</code></pre>
Custom size and color:
<pre><code>[pmath size=18 color="blue"]E = mc^2[/pmath]
</code></pre>
LaTeX input with inline text:
<pre><code>This is a fraction: [pmath latex=1]\frac{a}{b}[/pmath]
</code></pre>
Normal, upright text with the same inherited color and size:
LaTeX example – <code>[pmath size=24 color="#006687" latex=1]\text{This is a fraction:}\,\frac{a}{b}[/pmath]</code> 
Native example – <code>[pmath size=24 color="#006687"]text{NPV(CF, R) := } text{IV} + delim{[}{ sum{k=1}{N}{ {text{CF}_k}/{(1+text{R}/100)^k}}}{]}[/pmath]</code>
Expressions are rendered as PNG images using the GD and FreeType libraries and cached for efficient reuse. Rosetta extends this with visual error checks and copy to clipboard buttons that move your equations into WPMathPub content, external presentation tools, or anywhere PNG images are accepted. The result lives up to Rosetta’s tagline: Your math. Any platform.
