Its weird, are you using any hooks or override for AnsPress?

Yes, it was a known issue in version 4.1.6. But it got fixed in 4.1.7.

Yes, but they’d have to ask a question – does that make sense ? Well, the idea of AnsPress is a Q and A platform. So in this instance, a user posts a question, and someone else posts an answer. However, you can with some small modifications make the plugin behave as a discussion platform as I do. In this instance, a question becomes a discussion and an answer becomes a response.

Can you also supply the password to the live server ?

Possibly a dumb question, but have you cleared the cache on the new server ?
