 * Hi,
    I have installed QuickLatex 3.8.4 and it there are host of problems encountered.
   I am new to this plugin and wordpress, so the mistake can be embarrassingly simple.
   The following problems are present:
 * 1. Changing basic settings, like font size, equation number position or equation
   position has no effect. The numbers are to the left (the default setting is to
   the right), equations are to the left.
    2. Using $ … $ inline produces large 
   picture with a formula that does not fit the space within the line. 3. Equations(\
   begin{equation}….\end{equation}) are displayed with their number to the left 
   and cut a bit from the right. 4. References to equations do not take the reader
   to the equation when clicked. 5. Debug mode doesn’t seem to be working either.
 * What might be wrong?

 * Difficult to guess, everything should work fine out-of-the-box.
 * How many (what) plugins you have installed? Try disabling all others except the
   QL and then turn them ON one by one – to see which one is causing this issues.
 * What version of PHP/Wordpress do you use?
    What is your page URL?

 * Thank you for the prompt reply!
 * I am using the 4.4.2 WP.
    The webpage example is [here](http://185.49.12.43/news/solution-schrodinger-cat-paradox/?lang=en)
   Equation 1 is cut off from the right. In the text above equation 1 I used $10
   ^{24}$ and then \[10^{24}\] to show the problem. Other equations have a workaround
   in place i.e. \quad i added at the end of formulas.
 * I have 16 active plugins. All of them are up to date. Here are printscreens with
   the list:

 * All paragraphs in your theme are set to have “float: left;” CSS style.
    This 
   leads to all the issues – alignment, size of equations, etc.
 * In general, having this CSS style for every paragraph is very wrong.
    Try using
   different theme.

 * Did you develop the theme yourself?
    If you want to left-align the text in paragraph–
   use the “text-align: left;”.
 * But not the “float: left” – it is reserved for different purposes.

 * Some external web-design company did it 🙂
    But they didn’t know I am Latex die
   hard fan. And they don’t work on Sundays :). Setting the <p style=”text-align:
   left; float:none”> just for the paragraph with formulas does not change anything.
 * Will ask the company tomorrow to fix that.
 * Thank you!

 * Using float for text alignment is wrong on so many levels and has nothing to 
   do with LaTeX. Play with “Inspect” in Chrome – there you can turn on/off the 
   styles from your theme.
