wm.setConfigPortalBlocking(false) + big delay = not working

[Jehn84]

I'm trying to use the library in my project. An implementation with wm.setConfigPortalBlocking(false) is needed, but when a large delay is used in the loop, the portal either does not work at all, or it freezes very much and the web interface does not load. What can be done?

For example:

#include <WiFiManager.h>
WiFiManager wm;

void setup() {
    WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA); 
    Serial.begin(9600);
    wm.resetSettings();
    wm.setConfigPortalBlocking(false);
    wm.setConfigPortalTimeout(600);
    if(wm.autoConnect("TEST-AP")){
        Serial.println("connected...yeey :)");
    }
    else {
        Serial.println("Configportal running");
    }
}

void loop() {
    wm.process();
    Serial.print(".");
    delay(60000);
}

The wm.process needs to run continuously. It can't just run once and then "not run" for 60000 ms. A hint is how often you get the heartbeat "." printed to your serial monitor.

You need to set up a non-blocking timer in loop() using a while or an if statement, and/or process a callback from wifi manager when the captive portal returns a result. See the example sketches in this repository.
