  Math block/inline doesn’t render in any way on my end. Everything above is a math block: nothing, within $, and with latex preamble. Nothing works and renders. No error message. Just blank on the front-end, while the content remains in the block whenever I click on it (as in the pic). Tried on both Chrome and Edge, still doesn’t work. This should be an issue on WordPress’s end, even if I’m not the free plan.

  Hi there,

  I understand you’re experiencing an issue with the Math block.

  To help us take a closer look, could you please share your site URL, along with the specific page or post URL where you added the Math block and where it appears blank?

  Hi screehgs, thanks for helping. I’m not familiar with forums, so please let me know if the link’s not right: https://chocblchock.wordpress.com/?p=21&preview=true

  Hi justjennifer, thanks for sharing! Unfortunately, as I mentioned, I tried, and it didn’t work. I tried again after reading what you shared, too.

  Hey @anhphanma!
  
  Thank you for giving this a shot! I can see the content is still added without a shortcode block, but I added one for testing purposes on your site:

  

  I hope this helps!

  Best

  Hi @robertghetau, I’m a bit confused. This displays the code explicitly but not the math, which kinda defeats the purpose of a math block…? Anyways, thanks for your support!

  Hi @anhphanma!

  Sorry if it caused any confusion, but it’s expected that you still see the code in the editor if the shortcode method @robertghetau shared above. However, equations still show up on your live posts and pages.

  Currently, there is a known issue with the Math block introduced by a recent editor update. We don’t have an exact timeline for when it will be fixed yet, however, our development team is actively looking into it and deploying a fix as soon as possible. 

  In the meantime, as a workaround, you can use a Shortcode Block to display your equations as @robertghetau showed you above. You can paste your LaTeX code, surrounded by the tag [latex][/latex].

  I hope this helps!
