Hello:
I am updating the version of WifiManager to use it with ESP32, and I find the following problems.

Hardware

WiFimanager Branch/Release:

Master
Development

Esp8266/Esp32:

ESP8266
ESP32

Hardware: ESP-12e, esp01, esp25

ESP01
ESP12 E/F/S (nodemcu, wemos, feather)
ESP32 D1 mini Mh-Et

ESP32 Core Version:

2.3.0
2.4.0
1.0.0

Description

There is a declaration of init () that does not have its definition.
The init () method, is defined as "protected", and I can not use it to initialize the object. (I do not initialize it in the constructor because the "wm" object I use it as a member of my own class)

I already solve these problems by modifying the library, and so I can compile my application.
It would be nice if the library includes the changes

Thank you

I was using the library a year ago, now I wanted to update it and my code did not compile. That's why I found that:

The method in WifiManager.h line 128, is not defined in WifiManager.cpp
void init (const char * id, const char * label, const char * defaultValue, int length, const char * custom);

And this method in the current version of the library is protected.

My modification was:

Add the definition:

void WiFiManagerParameter :: init (const char * id, const char * label, const char * defaultValue, int length, const char * custom) {
init (id, label, defaultValue, length, custom, WFM_LABEL_BEFORE);
}

I made public the init () methods

//protected:			
    void init(const char *id, const char *label, const char *defaultValue, int length, const char *custom);
    void init(const char *id, const char *label, const char *defaultValue, int length, const char *custom, int labelPlacement);
