Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager/issues/477

Is it possible to define the SSID of the AP Server at runtime?

I tried creating a global const String variable and assigning e.g. String myssid = "MYAP" + String(ESP.getChipId());

but when I use "myssid in: wifiManager.autoConnect(myssid) I get an error.
boolean autoConnect(char const *apName, char const *apPassword = NULL);

Sounds like the problem is with the String addition, you need to concatenate or strcat.
