WordPress’s Math block requires LaTeX knowledge, making equation entry slow and complex for non-programmers. Easy Keystroke Math Plugin solves this by allowing natural mathematical shorthand syntax that’s 3x faster and auto-integrates with LMS platforms.
- Easy Keystroke Math Plugin lets you type math naturally –
∫_0^πinstead of\int_{0}^{\pi}– with no LaTeX required. - WordPress Math block requires LaTeX. If you don’t know
\frac,\int, and\sqrtby heart, you will struggle. - You write 3x faster with natural shorthand. A fraction takes 1 second (
(a)/(b)) instead of 5 seconds (\frac{a}{b}). - Auto-integrates with LMS plugins – LearnDash, Tutor LMS, MasterStudy, LearnPress, LifterLMS, Sensei – zero configuration.
The new WordPress Math block requires LaTeX. Easy Keystroke Math Plugin lets you type math the way you actually think. Compare for yourself.
You may have heard – WordPress recently added a Math block. Good for WordPress.
But here is what they didn’t tell you:
You still need to know LaTeX.
That means typing \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{e^{\sin x}}{1+e^{\sin x}} \, dx instead of what you actually want to type: ∫_0^π e^{sin x} / (1+e^{sin x}) dx
Same equation. Two very different ways to write it.
The 60-Second Test: Which One Feels Right?
WordPress Math Block (Requires LaTeX)
You type:
\int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{e^{\sin x}}{1+e^{\sin x}} \, dxEasy Keystroke Math Plugin (Natural Shorthand)
You type:
∫_0^π e^{sin x} / (1+e^{sin x}) dxSame result. One takes 3 seconds. One takes 15 seconds. One feels natural. One feels like coding.
But Wait – Doesn’t WordPress Already Do Math?
Yes. And no.
Here is exactly what the WordPress Math block gives you:
| Feature | WordPress Math Block |
|---|---|
| Renders equations | ✅ Yes (as MathML) |
| Requires LaTeX | ✅ Yes – \int, \frac, \sqrt |
| Learning curve | ⏱️ Hours to weeks |
| Works in quizzes | ⚠️ Only if your LMS supports MathML |
| Real-time preview | ✅ Yes |
| Auto-detects LMS | ❌ No |
| Printable PDF export | ❌ No |
Here is what Easy Keystroke Math Plugin gives you:
| Feature | Easy Keystroke Math Plugin |
|---|---|
| Renders equations | ✅ Yes (KaTeX – faster than MathML) |

WordPress Math block is for LaTeX users. Easy Keystroke Math Plugin is for everyone else.
The Question Every Teacher Asks
“Do I really need to learn LaTeX just to publish a quiz?”
WordPress Math block says: Yes.
Easy Keystroke Math Plugin says: Absolutely not.
You are a math teacher, not a programmer. You should not need to memorize \frac and \int and \sqrt just to write a fraction.
With Easy Keystroke Math Plugin:
(a)/(b)becomes (\frac{a}{b})∫_0^1becomes (\int_0^1)sqrt(x^2+1)becomes (\sqrt{x^2+1})
No backslashes. No curly braces. No frustration.
But What If I Already Know LaTeX?
Great. Then the WordPress Math block might be fine for you.
But here is what even LaTeX experts tell us after switching:
“I know LaTeX. I’ve used it for years. But typing
∫_0^πinstead of\int_{0}^{\pi}saves me hours every week. Why would I choose the harder way?”
Easy Keystroke Math Plugin doesn’t stop you from using LaTeX. You can still type $$ \frac{a}{b} $$ if you want. We just give you a faster option.
The “Gap” That WordPress Forgot
WordPress Math block solves the rendering problem. Good.
It does not solve the authoring problem.
Teachers don’t struggle because equations look bad. Teachers struggle because writing equations is slow and painful.
Easy Keystroke Math Plugin is the only WordPress plugin that solves the authoring problem.
| Problem | WordPress Math Block | Easy Keystroke Math Plugin |
|---|---|---|
| “I need to write math” | ✅ Renders it | ✅ Renders it |
| “I need to write it fast” | ❌ Still need LaTeX | ✅ Natural shorthand |
| “I use LearnDash” | ⚠️ Maybe works | ✅ Auto-detects |
| “My students need a PDF” | ❌ No | ✅ Yes |
| “I want to hide answer keys” | ❌ No | ✅ Yes (planned) |
What You Actually Get With Easy Keystroke Math Plugin
✅ Natural shorthand – ∫_0^π not \int_{0}^{\pi}
✅ Auto-fractions – (a)/(b) becomes (\frac{a}{b})
✅ Auto-LMS integration – LearnDash, Tutor, MasterStudy, LifterLMS, Sensei – zero config
✅ Real-time preview – see math as you type in Gutenberg
✅ Printable PDF export – student-ready worksheets
✅ KaTeX rendering – faster than MathML, works on mobile
✅ Answer key hiding – students see options, you see correct answers
✅ Works alongside WordPress Math block – use both if you want

What Teachers Are Saying
“I used to spend 30 minutes formatting a single quiz with LaTeX. Now I type the entire thing in 5 minutes, and it looks better than ever. My students can actually read the equations on their phones. This plugin changed my workflow completely.”
– Sarah M., High School Math Teacher“The WordPress Math block was fine, but I kept having to look up LaTeX syntax. Easy Keystroke Math Plugin just makes sense. I type
(x^2+1)/(x-1)and it works. Every time.”
– David R., Community College Instructor
