At the Arduino ide 2.3.3. i received an error at compile, any idea why? Before it works for me.

C:\Temp\Bluetti_ESP32_zwembad\Bluetti_ESP32\BWifi.cpp: In function 'void initBWifi(bool)':

I've seen this when the Async web server hasn't been enabled in the .h file. See docs here: https://docs.elegantota.pro/getting-started/async-mode
