where in version 13 is the lines to save capture credentials so that if you turn on or off the board it will load last successful settings. i am using ken taylors code but it has version 11 in it and is not saving the capture credentials so i have to keep entering it everytime

where or how do i fix this

It is saved automatically when you save in configportal, if it is successful

I have the same basic question - I have looked through wifiManager.cpp and while the EEPROM save commands for ssid and password for connection to an existing wifi network have been commented out, there is no indication of how the ssid and password could be automatically saved (or accessed - the internal _ssid is clearly visible but no obvious get function to return it). This is also not obvious from the examples.

Best I can see just now is you hard code these in the calling program, but that seems odd given this tool in large part is used to configure the wifi connection.

What am I missing?

Thank you.

Having now googled this...

The esp arduino sdk automatically saves the ssid and psk to an area of the eeprom on a successful connection. Check out the esp8266 wifi library docs for more details.

The old code in the wifimanager library to save ssid and password (psk) to eeprom has been commented out dpecifically because the esp wifi library already does this.

OK this is the issue ken’s version has the stuff marked out on it so you
can turn it back on and it will print the IP address which is what I need
but the problem is he based on the older generation so it has a lot of
errors with the Wi-Fi manager and does not work properly so I’m trying to
find out how to take the new Wi-Fi manager and add it so that it prints out
like ken’s version that IP address and if you go in an uncommon to the
things that are coming to the Audi does not make you still work so

i dont know what that means im not a coder can someone help me so that i
can get it to work

hello i use wifimanger and it works great and saves the cridentials so i
dont have to reenter them, but i need to access it from an android as well
so i changed my wifimanger to ken taylors version. that works great to
access with the androit and it prints out the ip address to access and
everything but IT DONT SAVE the cridentials and so i have to reenter
everytime i turn on my device. i read in kens notes he did that for a
reason but does anyone have a fix for it so that i can get the best of both
