#87432 About a year ago I completed a few projects using Ken Taylor's wifiManager library. (https://github.com/kentaylor/WiFiManager/) and have based my projects on his ConfigureOnSwitch sketch. (https://github.com/kentaylor/WiFiManage ... igOnSwitch) I've got another use for it so I picked it up again and I'm getting this compiling error. I haven't changed/upgraded the Arduino IDE so not quite sure what's happening. I made sure I was using Taylors wifiManager.h It's complaning about "error: previous declaration of 'HTTPMethod HTTP_HEAD'". But more than that is above my experience. Here is the full error message. (In the back of my head I thought I remembered their was a configuration option in the IDE but this seems to point to something else. It's not just my new project that is moaning but all the stuff I did last year generates the same error when verifying the code. In my latest attempt I just tried compiling Taylor's example and get the same error. Thanks in advance for guidance on this.

#87441 I don't know anything about any esp core 2.7.0 upgrade or change. Is that something that automagically happens? As mentioned above I haven't intentionally upgraded anything because as you hint I've been burned before. I did find a updated version of WifiManger by Khoi Hoang which so far works. (Haven't got to adding parameters yet.) It's a fork of Ken Taylor's (which no longer works for me) which is a fork of Tzapu’s WifiManager. It's all a bit of a mystery. Anyway solved in a round about way for new projects.

#87447 I don't know how either (it is your PC) but you're definitely on the Arduino esp8266 core in version 2.7.0
C:\Users\Roberts\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp8266\hardware\esp8266\ --> 2.7.0 <-- \libraries\ESP8266WebServer\src/ESP8266WebServer.h:34:39: error: previous declaration of 'HTTPMethod HTTP_HEAD'


hint: goto board manager, deinstall esp8266 package, newly install e.g. 2.4.2 or anything you like before 2.7.0 or wait for a response from the devs - AFAIK it is a known problem and allready fixed in the git-version.
