Hello,

I have spent an enormous amount of time trying to figure this out on my own, but finally to no avail.

 I have recently made a website through WordPress, and I have inserted the codes for MathJax. This is my website: http://www.chocodamics.com/gausss-law/
As you can see, the square root isn't rendering. Interestingly enough, everything else such as the "squared" is functioning. What also intrigued me was that when I entered into Live Editor mode, it worked fine. However, when I press "update", and actually load the page, I find that the square roots do not load. I am using WordJax version 2.6 (I believe). If there is any additional information that I should provide, please tell me! 

Thank you in advance

Hi,

Something is stripping out the backslashes in your input -- check the HTML of the page to see that instead of, e.g., "\sqrt" the HTML source only has "sqrt". 

Most likely, this comes from PHP or markdown processing your input and stripping out backslashes (which serve as escape characters in both of these).

Regards,
Peter.
