Hardware

WiFimanager Branch/Release: Master

Esp8266:
Hardware: ESP-12f, (wemos D1 Mini clone)
Core Version: 3.0.2

Description:
Wifi settings not saved if disconnect from wifi after making a connection.

Settings in IDE
Module: NodeMcu, Wemos D1
Additional libraries: none

Sketch:

#include <WiFiManager.h> // https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager

void setup() {
    WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA); // explicitly set mode, esp defaults to STA+AP
    // it is a good practice to make sure your code sets wifi mode how you want it.

    // put your setup code here, to run once:
    Serial.begin(115200);
    
    //WiFiManager, Local intialization. Once its business is done, there is no need to keep it around
    WiFiManager wm;

    // reset settings - wipe stored credentials for testing
    // these are stored by the esp library
    // wm.resetSettings();

    // Automatically connect using saved credentials,
    // if connection fails, it starts an access point with the specified name ( "AutoConnectAP"),
    // if empty will auto generate SSID, if password is blank it will be anonymous AP (wm.autoConnect())
    // then goes into a blocking loop awaiting configuration and will return success result

    bool res;
    // res = wm.autoConnect(); // auto generated AP name from chipid
    // res = wm.autoConnect("AutoConnectAP"); // anonymous ap
    res = wm.autoConnect("AutoConnectAP","password"); // password protected ap

    if(!res) {
        Serial.println("Failed to connect");
        // ESP.restart();
    } 
    else {
        //if you get here you have connected to the WiFi    
        Serial.println("connected...yeey :)");
    }

//do some stuff
  Serial.print("Disconnecting...");
  WiFi.disconnect();  // Disconnect from current wifi network
  delay (2000);
  Serial.println("...Done!");


}

void loop() {
    // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:   
}

Have you pulled master recently?

Just downloaded and imported the master. Am using V2.0.12-beta which the Arduino IDE Library Manager reports as the latest version and the releases section here on github appears to agree. Build date (as shown in the "info" section when connected to the portal) is: Sep 20 2022 23:38:43
Problem persists. Message is slightly different:

*wm:[1] AutoConnect 
*wm:[2] Connecting as wifi client... 
*wm:[2] setSTAConfig static ip not set, skipping 
*wm:[1] No wifi saved, skipping 
*wm:[2] Connection result: WL_NO_SSID_AVAIL
*wm:[1] AutoConnect: FAILED 
*wm:[2] Starting Config Portal 
*wm:[2] Disabling STA 
*wm:[2] Enabling AP

Before: *wm:[1] No Credentials are Saved, skipping connect
After: *wm:[1] No wifi saved, skipping
