Not able to Receive subscribed Message with PubSubClient.h in Arduino Uno R3

Question

#include "SPI.h"
#include “WiFiEsp.h”
#include  <WiFiEspClient.h>
#include “SoftwareSerial.h”
#include <PubSubClient.h>
#include <WiFiEspUdp.h>

float temp=0;
int tempPin = 0;
int isClientConnected = 0;

char data[80];
char ssid[] = “SSID”; // your network SSID (name)
char pass[] = “PASSWORD”; // your network password

int status = WL_IDLE_STATUS; // the Wifi radio’s status
char deviceName = “ArduinoClient1”;

IPAddress server(xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx); //MQTT server IP
IPAddress ip(192,168,43,200);

void callback(char* topic, byte* payload, unsigned int length) {
    Serial.print(“Message arrived [“);
    Serial.print(topic);
    Serial.print(“] “);
    for (int i=0;i<length;i++) {
        Serial.print((char)payload[i]);
    }
    Serial.println("-");
}

// Emulate Serial1 on pins 6/7 if not present
WiFiEspClient espClient;
PubSubClient client(espClient);

SoftwareSerial Serial1(6,7); // RX, TX

void setup(){
    Serial.begin(9600);
    Serial1.begin(9600);
    WiFi.init(&Serial1);
    WiFi.config(ip);
    if (WiFi.status() == WL_NO_SHIELD) {
       Serial.println("WiFi shield not present");
       while (true);
    }

    while ( status != WL_CONNECTED) {
       Serial.print("Attemptingonnect to WPA SSID: ");
       Serial.println(ssid);
       status = WiFi.begin(ssid, pass);
       Serial.print("WiFius : ");
       Serial.println(status);
    }

    //connect to MQTT server
    client.setServer(server, 1883);
    client.setCallback(callback);
    isClientConnected = client.connect(deviceName);
    Serial.println("+++++++");
    Serial.print("isClientConnected;
    Serial.println(isClientConnected);
    Serial.print("client.state");
    Serial.println(client.state());

    if (isClientConnected) {
        Serial.println("Connected…..");
        client.publish("status","Welcome to ISG");
        client.subscribe("isg/demoPublish/rpi/ardTempWarn"); 
        //Not able to recieve for this subscribed topic on Arduino Uno Only if I   
        //print it returns 1

    }
}

void loop() {
    temp = (5.0 * analogRead(tempPin) * 100.0) / 1024;
    Serial.print(" temp : " );
    Serial.println(temp);
    Serial.print("client.connected);
    Serial.println(client.connected());
    if (!client.connected()) {
            reconnect();
    }
    client.publish("isg/demoPublish/ard1/tempLM35",String(temp).c_str()); 
    // able to receive data at other         
    // clients like RPI,Web using Mosquitto broker

    client.loop();
    delay(5000);
}

void reconnect() {
    Serial.println("Device is trying to connect to server ");
    while (!client.connected()) {
        if (client.connect(deviceName)) {
        } else {
            delay(5000);
        }
    }
}

I am using Arduino Uno R3 and ESP8266-01 as wifi connector. I have to read temperature data and send to Mosquitto ,MongoDB and Raspberry Pi and receive a data on specific condition for that i have subscribed a topic in Arduino. I am able to receive data from Arduino to all other clients but I am not able to receive data on Subscribed topic in Arduino. But all other deviced like MongoDB able to receive data from Raspberry Pi. I have used Arduino Uno R3, ESP8266-01 devices and liberary for to connect and send/receive data WiFiEsp.h, WiFiEspClient.h, WiFiEspUdp.h, SoftwareSerial.h, PubSubClient.h client.subscribe("topic"); returns 1 Also callback function implemented but not able to get call.

So can any one help me why I am not getting subscribed topic message in Arduino?

The library that you are using has bug in callback hence it would be better that you use other library my preference would be https://github.com/vshymanskyy/TinyGSM this library include almost all variants of SIM800(A,C,L,H,808), variants of SIM900(A,D,908,968), ESP8266 (mounted on arduino), Ethernet shield etc. It worked for me, as same issue bugged me for almost 1-2 weeks but latter was able to receive all subscribed message irrespective of mode of communication(GSM,Ethernet,WiFi)
