thanks for the great plugin. I’ve tried 1.0.7 on WP 2.9.1 and I had two issues:

1. I had to chmod 777 the img directory, because the web server apparently ran under a different userID than my account.

2. There’s no diagnostic/settings/manage entry in the Plugins->Manage menu. Only the points to activate and deactivate the plugin.

But everything else seems to work just fine. Thanks a lot.

Can you help with installation of phpmathpublisher on phpBB forum?

I’ve tried a few solutions, but i really cannot get it to work. I only come here because i’m really lost.

Thanks

As you can see from your own comment just above this one – text entered between two math graphics generated with [pmath ... /pmath] tags displays just fine.

What might have happened during your blogging experience is that you did not choose an HTML tag to enclose your text. Sure wordpress makes it a little easier and a lot more automatic to enter text into a blog post. But when you experience a problem, such as missing text as Devin has encountered, here is a simple solution to enforce correct display of your text….

Put your text into an HTML paragraph tag like this:
<p >Consider the geometric sequence 2,4,8, 16, 16…</p>

Choose one of these two approaches to get these paragraph tags into your blog post yourself:
1) Use your editor’s raw HTML mode to enter the “less than” and “greater than” symbols manually or
2) use the editor’s “paragraph” menu option from your editor’s VISUAL mode.

If you view the HTML source code for this page using your browser’s view->source feature you would see that that is exactly what Wordpress automatically choose to correctly format his text string in the comment above.

The problem /solution I describe here has more to do with HTML text entry for a web page (like a blog post) than with my wpmathpub graphics publication. I hope this helped Devin,

Consider the geometric sequence 2, 4, 8, 16, …

On my site, the text “Consider the geometric sequence…” is not there.

It simply has the two lines of math equations, but does not display the text.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Thanks for an excellent plugin, worked for me ’straight out of the box’!

Bing new to the Php Math Publisher command set, I found I was continually referring to the help web page, so I did myself a pdf of it. Just though it might be useful for others, if so they can find it here: http://www.mark-wilson.net/?p=483

Thanks once again for this one, it’s already saved me a load of time, and I now have many draft posts in production that I had been putting off for ages!

Thanks alOt for your reply!

Im tried changing the autochmod to false but still no change. However, because I am not very experienced with this, Im not too sure how to do the SSH BASH thing.

What else can be done? Please advise! Thank you!

Thank you for your interest and initial install attempt with WPMathPub. If I understand you correctly, when you display your wpmathpub status from your admin tool, you do not get “img directory readable” = yes.

If this is the case, you will likely need to manualy go to the img directory and make it readable. This “how to” can be found in my FAQ located here:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpmathpub/faq/
“During installation how can I make sure the ‘img’ directory has write access?”

i cant seem to get the plugin to work. I was really excited when I found this plugin because now i can add formulas online!

However, i cannot get the same result as what you got in screenshot 5.

i.e. “img directory readable” -> “mathfilter” does not appear for me.

Please help! I am currently using WP version 2.7…

Also, when I attempt to key in the formulas and publish the blog, no content appears. Only the blog title.

I hope to hear from you regarding this issue soon!
Thanks in advance Ron!

Thanks for the reply. Although your plugin helps a great deal, it looks like math in html is no cakewalk. I will keep in mind your suggestion to use tables to “nudge” the formatting.

For simple stuff like my letter mu &mu or the right arrow in your example, it seems simpler to use the Html 4.0 symbols, &mu and &rarr , although they are not by supported older browsers.
