Went further: set up to log errors. The follow resulted from starting with wpmathpub disabled. Log was empty at that point. I then enabled then disabled the wpmathpub plugin and this was the resulting error log

-1- I installed the update to the plugin 2.1.3

-2- enabled wpmathpub

-3- I dialed in to baseURL/page/263 and started incrementing 264, 265, 266 and it no longer had an issue

-4- I verified that the math is rendering.

Looks like you may have fixed the problem. Curious why it had an issue with 263 in particular. Although in the intervening time there have been several entries added so if it was due to an odd combination of characters that combination would have moved

-5- Still seeing the following error message at the top of my admin page when I log in

Deprecated: Function has_cap was called with an argument that is deprecated since version 2.0.0! Usage of user levels is deprecated. Use capabilities instead. in /home/politico/amarketplaceofideas.com/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6121

-6- Since it has been a few months I decided to increment starting at baseURL/page/263. When I got to https://www.amarketplaceofideas.com/page/274 I see the error. Due to a large fraction of my posts being private I doubt you will see it at that location if you dial in.

I logged out so my private posts no long affect the count. The error can be seen at https://www.amarketplaceofideas.com/page/180

It appears to be the same entry causing the issue. Is there a special combination of characters that can cause an error condition? I know wordpress itself absolutely hates $dollar signs. Error text cut and pasted below.

-1- does reported error go away when I disable wpmathpub – Yes.

-2- referencing link: I realized and revised my reply above but probably you read before I realized – my blog has a large fraction of private posts. Thus unless logged in the indexing would not be the same. The link for you without being logged in would be: https://www.amarketplaceofideas.com/page/180

sorry about that oversight.

-3- I use CKEditor plugin – which is wysiwyg html.

-4- I am not sure what it means to “display your environment”. I use the pmath tag straight forwardly. Example: the product of x and y would be: [pmath] x * y [/pmath] and this would be entered directly into the wysiwyg editor just as typed. ( not using source view for example ).

Since the abberrant behavior is associated with this single post and moves as more entries or added or if I am logged in or not I have to imagine there is something specific about that particular blog entry.

-0- Site: things got too complicated to remember all the detailed issues I’ve come up against.

-1- yes the equations on the linked page are wpmathpub with the [pmath] tags

I have 4000ish posts in the blog all whipped out with CKEditor. As far as I can tell only one entry has this issue. Just off that could we estimate your chances of tripping an error might be 1:4000 ?

I can not say I fully understood exactly what you were saying with the talk about the short codes so if I’m completely off base…..derp.

Would it help if I supplied the blog entry source ?

BTW: I have to laugh at how nice those Gutenberg things look and I barely knew it existed. I think when it originally popped up I disabled as fast as possible to I could get back to work.
