If you run sketch AutoConnectWithFSparameters all works well, but how do I trigger an "on demand Config Portal" with say a button press. If on button press I run:

WiFiManager wifiManager;
if (!wifiManager.startConfigPortal("OnDemandAP")) {
Serial.println("failed to connect and hit timeout");
delay(3000);
//reset and try again, or maybe put it to deep sleep
ESP.reset();
delay(5000);
}

then I just get the basic ssid , password web page and not my extended one with mqtt etc.

I made a simple diy project and included the same functionality in it. Pressing a push button will led to scan all the available networks. Display them on an html page, chose one network, provide password in html page and click connect to connect to the network.

I have read and tried changing the server to a SPIFFS server(https://github.com/r-downing/SPIFFSReadServer) rather than a ESP8266WebServer, but the result is never stable. Please offer an example of how this can be done.
