Hmm, when the AP is up its 192.168.4.1 but when its connected to router then if i access the IP i get nothing. So it doesnt spin up an interface to configure settings. Im wanting to upload a new .bin file.

Yes sir.

I did try startwebportal() from your example but didnt seem to work. ill try again with my D1 mini.

So startwebportal() serves the exact same AP page?

Thank you.

Yes just without starting the softap configportal
configportal is softap+httpd+captiveportal
webportal is httpdserver only

Yes, this is what i have right now and in the loop i had the portal start.

WiFiClient espClient;


 void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);

  pinMode(TRIGGER_PIN, INPUT);
//  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);

  loadConfigFile();
  setupWifiManager();
}

void loop() {
//  checkButton();

  reconnect_mqtt();
  client.loop();

//  wifiManager.startWebPortal();
}

void setupWifiManager()
{
  WiFiManagerParameter custom_mqtt_server("server", "mqtt server", mqtt_server, 20);
  WiFiManagerParameter custom_mqtt_port("port", "mqtt port", mqtt_port, 10);
  WiFiManagerParameter custom_mqtt_user("user", "mqtt user", mqtt_user, 50);
  WiFiManagerParameter custom_mqtt_pass("pass", "mqtt pass", mqtt_pass, 50);

  // WiFiManager
  // Local intialization. Once its business is done, there is no need to keep it around
  //  WiFiManager wifiManager;

  //set config save notify callback
  wifiManager.setSaveConfigCallback(saveConfigCallback);

  //add all your parameters here
  wifiManager.addParameter(&custom_mqtt_server);
  wifiManager.addParameter(&custom_mqtt_port);
  wifiManager.addParameter(&custom_mqtt_user);
  wifiManager.addParameter(&custom_mqtt_pass);

  wifiManager.setConnectTimeout(180);
  wifiManager.setConnectRetries(100);
  if (wifiManager.getWiFiIsSaved()) wifiManager.setEnableConfigPortal(false);
  wifiManager.autoConnect("AP");


  //erases the wifi settings from chip. Going to add this to mqtt command and button press.
  //    wifiManager.resetSettings();

  strncpy(mqtt_server, custom_mqtt_server.getValue(), sizeof(mqtt_server));
  strncpy(mqtt_port, custom_mqtt_port.getValue(), sizeof(mqtt_port));
  strncpy(mqtt_user, custom_mqtt_user.getValue(), sizeof(mqtt_user));
  strncpy(mqtt_pass, custom_mqtt_pass.getValue(), sizeof(mqtt_pass));

  //save the custom parameters to FS
  if (shouldSaveConfig) {
    saveConfigFile();
  }
}

@tablatronix Just one more question. I had params that i setup (in code above) but when i spin up the portal and go to /p or setup then there are no params.

The params i use are for MQTT settings? How can i get them to the portal as well as initial AP setup.

Thanks

Sounds like a scope issue, are you setting your params in setup ?
You will need to make them global or static somehow
