hello
when i use wifimanager with static ip in this way

IPAddress ip (192, 168, 1, 59);
IPAddress gateway(192, 168, 1, 1);
IPAddress mask (255, 255, 255, 0);

wifiManager.setSTAStaticIPConfig(ip, gateway, mask);

The esp8266 nodemcu with static ip don't receives nothing from telegram using the universaltelegrambot library.
If I let wifimanager in dhcp mode then it works fine and receives every command from telelegram.
There might be an interaction between them I guess.
After several days trying diferents configurations i've found that with this instruction everything go wrong. it lost the connection.
I think that could be because of the secure client. but I'm not sure.
The instruction wifiManager.setSTAStaticIPConfig(ip, gateway, mask); works great indeed because it put the ip statically right but then the other library doesnt works properly

Please, can you tell me why this issue is closed? There are any other thread solved about it?
I'm detecting same problem with WifiManager 0.12 and UniversalTelegrambot 1.1.0 and static IP

Because there is no information about which esp lib or attempt to remove wifimanager and test with a basic esp static example. Also there is now a development branch to test against
