ok, playing around, i put ANSPRESS_TITLE as the Title on base page. Works but now my menu description shows as: ANSPRESS_TITLE …
Its working fine for me, I think you are talking about older versions (1.4.3). Please update to latest version.
YOUR BASE PAGE TITLE MUST HAVE ANSPRESS_TITLE . AnsPress will replace it to proper title. This method was used so that you can use SEO plugin with it.
Please add screenshot with your question when its needed. Its helpful for quickly identifying issue.
Remember its question stats not AnsPress stats, so this widget will only work when current page is question page. I will make a AnsPress status widget soon.
