for now it's probably worth just going to WIFI_AP and then back to WIFI_STA rather than AP+STA it goes to now.

it was a half assed attempt to do something else i think

Easiest fix is to make sure to turn off AP when timeout of configportal, or else it gets stuck on every time.
Also worth noting that switching modes alot may cause flash wear.

best solution is to handle this directly via SDK, no flash involved
wifi_set_opmode_current()

Set Wi-Fi working mode to Station mode, SoftAP or Station + SoftAP, and do not
update flash.

That or toggle persistent before and after changing modes.

Testing good so far

/**
 * toggle mode, non persistant
 * @param m WiFiMode_t
 */
bool WiFiManager::wifimode(WiFiMode_t m) {
    DEBUG_WM(F("changing wifi mode non persistant"));
    if(wifi_get_opmode() == (uint8) m) {
        return true;
    }
    bool ret;
    ETS_UART_INTR_DISABLE();
    ret =  wifi_set_opmode_current(m);
    ETS_UART_INTR_ENABLE();
    return ret;
}

So now even if rebooted mid portal, it will not get stuck in STA+AP mode, etc.

Ideally we would also be able to rework the library to not step on users configs.

do a wifi_station_get_config save state locally, switch to lib ap, finish, restore users ap.
or when in doubt reboot works now since not overwriting flash.

As it is now, user ap mode has to be handled in user code, as you cannot use flash.

It is also worth noting that even though opmode wont be saved when you start the softap the conf is always saved.

How do you ETS_UART_INTR_ENABLE(); after return?

good catch

ohhh yeah duh, fixed, either way i think this might work for a workaround but ultimately it is not gonna be a solution. see #314

I am working on a pr for development to solve some major issues instead.
