Unable to setup WP LaTeX with local LaTeX installation

  • Hi, I’ve been trying to set up WordPress blog on my Mac Mini machine after OS X 10.8 has been released. I’ve got Apache, PHP, MySQL running and WordPress is also running nicely. Also, MacTex 2012 works fine on this machine as well. So, I tried WP LaTeX to render equations locally, but keep getting error below:

    Here is how much of TeX’s memory you used:
    1150 strings out of 493489
    13508 string characters out of 3141349
    61834 words of memory out of 3000000
    4502 multiletter control sequences out of 15000+200000
    8276 words of font info for 32 fonts, out of 3000000 for 9000
    957 hyphenation exceptions out of 8191
    27i,4n,22p,247b,109s stack positions out of 5000i,500n,10000p,200000b,50000s

    No pages of output.

    I’m not sure why inputenc doesn’t accept ‘latin1’… In fact, there’s no unicode characters used in the example view. So, the problem is not the .php file, I guess.

    Of course, everything works fine when the setting uses ‘WordPress.com’.

  • There’s a bug in wp-latex’s automattic-latex-dvipng.php which I’ve just submited.

    Here’s what you can do to fix it.
    Find the file automattic-latex-dvipng.php in wp-latex installation.
    Make a copy of it.

    In the Automattic_Latex_DVIPNG class there’s a function called wrap().
    Change the lines that read:

    if ( $this->size_latex )
    $string .= “\n\end{{$this->size_latex}}”;
    $string .= “\n\end{document}”;

    To be:

    if ( $this->size_latex )
    $string .= “\n\\end{{$this->size_latex}}”;
    $string .= “\n\\end{document}”;

    They’ve forgotten that \e in PHP creates an escape character (octal 33). That’s why latex can’t understand the file wp-latex creates, because it contains an escape character.
