Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager/issues/554

Using a WEMOS D1 Mini Pro with WiFiManager after a clean full erase of flash, WiFi manager does not launch AP mode but launched STA mode with IP 0.0.0.0. I redacted board manager 2.4.1 to 2.3 and my code worked again.

Can anyone reproduce this?

@bill-orange 2.4.1 works with WiFi Manager and WeMos D1 Mini. Heard there maybe some general issues with the Pro, not WiFi Manager related.

I've used the WiFiManager v0.12.0 library in Arduino IDE v1.8.6 (the last "nightly" build) with the v2.4.1 libraries for ESP8266 on Wemos D1 R2 and Wemos D1 Mini. It works, if you workaround some bugs that may occur when using char* arrays to set the SSID and password for the access point. (Don't try to do any operations on char* arrays, such as strcat, or sprintf. If you need such functionality, specify a length for the arrays when declaring them, and make sure that the length of the password array is between 8 and 63 characters.)
