Hello James, No, you wont lose anything. After updating simply click on upgrade message appear on your wp-admin.
when i add text nothing changes though :/
Just discovered this: https://anspress.io/questions/question/tutorial-how-to-import-questions-and-answers-to-anspress/ It gives pretty good answer to my questions, thanks to the author. However, it would be useful to know if there are any changes or upgrades related to this question.
I see error. Remove old AnsPress overrides. Delete anspress folder from your theme wp-pravda
