Captive portal instead of static ip portal

[geosys123]

Hi I am using following code for wifi manger picked from examples.
`ESPAsync_WiFiManager ESPAsync_wifiManager(&webServer, &dnsServer, "AutoConnectAP");
ESPAsync_wifiManager.setDebugOutput(true);
ESPAsync_wifiManager.setAPStaticIPConfig(IPAddress(192, 168, 100, 1), IPAddress(192, 168, 100, 1), IPAddress(255, 255, 255, 0));

ESPAsync_wifiManager.setMinimumSignalQuality(-1);
ESPAsync_wifiManager.setConfigPortalChannel(0);

#if USING_CORS_FEATURE
	ESPAsync_wifiManager.setCORSHeader("Your Access-Control-Allow-Origin");
#endif

Router_SSID = ESPAsync_wifiManager.WiFi_SSID();
Router_Pass = ESPAsync_wifiManager.WiFi_Pass();

//Remove this line if you do not want to see WiFi password printed
Serial.println("Stored: SSID = " + Router_SSID + ", Pass = " + Router_Pass);

if (Router_SSID != "")
{
	ESPAsync_wifiManager.setConfigPortalTimeout(120); //If no access point name has been previously entered disable timeout.
	Serial.println("Got stored Credentials. Timeout 120s");
}
else
{
	Serial.println("No stored Credentials. No timeout");
}

String chipID = String(ESP_getChipId(), HEX);
chipID.toUpperCase();

// SSID and PW for Config Portal
String AP_SSID = "ESP_" + chipID + "_AutoConnectAP";
String AP_PASS = "12345678";

if ( !ESPAsync_wifiManager.startConfigPortal(AP_SSID.c_str(), AP_PASS.c_str()) )
	Serial.println("Not connected to WiFi but continuing anyway.");
else
	Serial.println("WiFi connected...yeey :)");`

The portal at 192.168.100.1 works fine when this code is called first time but if I call this code again in loop or setup function then it switches to captive portal which opens automatically when I connect to esp32 AP instead of portal at 192.168.100.1. What is the reason for this behaviour?

Have a look at these examples to know how to use Config Portal in loop()

1. Async_ConfigOnSwitch

2. Async_ConfigOnSwitchFS

3. Async_ConfigPortalParamsOnSwitch

4. Async_ConfigOnSwitchFS_MQTT_Ptr

I suggest you to at least go through all the examples to experience how and which is the best way to use the features of this ESPAsync_WiFiManager or any library.

The questions about issues which are already illustrated in examples or in previously Solved/Closed issues won't be answered next time as I don't have much time to deal with.

Sorry if I am not clear with my question. My question is I don't want captive portal but it is still opening captive portal when the code is called 2nd time in loop function. I want to use static IP portal which is working fine the code is called first time but on 2nd time it automaticaly changes to captive portal inspite of using ESPAsync_wifiManager.setAPStaticIPConfig(IPAddress(192, 168, 100, 1), IPAddress(192, 168, 100, 1), IPAddress(255, 255, 255, 0)); in code.
