 * Hi there,
 * Do you have an URL so I can take a look (or a sample page)?
 * It’s most likely a conflict with whatever plugin is adding the `<!-- mep-nl --
   >` tags.

 * It seems that another plugin (one that does translating?) is encoding all the
   HTML entities in the form mark-up, most likely upon saving.
 * They’re definitely doing something wrong, I’m afraid there isn’t much my plugin
   can do about this.
 * What does the form mark-up in the settings look like? Does it have the `& lt ;`
   pieces or the regular `<`‘s?

 * This is what the form markup looks like in the settings:
 * `<p><!--mep-nl--><!--mep-tab--><label for=&quot;mc4wp_email&quot;>Email address:
   </label><!--mep-nl--><!--mep-tab--><input type=&quot;email&quot; id=&quot;mc4wp_email&
