Update on this… finally after reading up on WordPress and how plugins work I understood what the _e() was used for. Dug deeper and then found that our hosting provider had turned off PHP!! The website looked normal and even the control panel looked normal (except for this plugin) so I had no indication that PHP had been disabled.

Thanks for your help!

Howdy..
I’ve deleted and reinstalled with no different results.

I have not done anything w/translations at all. It’s an ‘English USA’ website.

Any thoughts on how to determine what is adding the comments? I’m not familiar with the inner workings of WordPress.

The only updates were to Jetpack. I’ve disabled jetpack and there was no change in behaviour on the settings page or the plugin’s inability to convert tagged posts.
I’ve turned on debug in the wp-config.php file and enabled logging. There are no errors logged.

I did notice when looking a the page source that all of the html elements have the text commented out.
i.e. Here’s the anchor tag for the first tab.
<a href="#gp-overview" class="ui-tabs-anchor" role="presentation" tabindex="-1" id="ui-id-1"><!--? _e('Overview','tpg-get-posts')?--></a>

Is that normal?

Thanks for your help!
