Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched for any existing and/or related issues.
  • I have searched for any existing and/or related discussions.
  • I have also searched in the CLOSED issues AND CLOSED discussions and found no related items (your issue might already be addressed on the development branch!).
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Pip Install

Open WebUI Version

v0.7.1 (latest)

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Debian 12

Browser (if applicable)

vivaldi

Confirmation

  • I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
  • I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
  • I have included the browser console logs.
  • I have included the Docker container logs.
  • I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
  • I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
  • I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
  • Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
  • Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
  • List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
  • Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
  • Include any files or environmental changes,
  • Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
  • Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.

Expected Behavior

Should be a button to generate images.

Actual Behavior

I could generate images.
I updated to the latest version.
The button to generate images is gone.

Image

The config settings seem correct - the settings worked previously and are unchanged.
I can enable image generation from the chat window and generate from what I type, just not from the response.

How do I fix?

Steps to Reproduce

Click an existing, working model in the top left dropdown
Type in the box that contains "send a message" the following text:

describe the cutest thing imaginable. only describe the visuals. describe in 1 paragraph

Wait for the LLM's response.
See that there is no button to generate an image.

Logs & Screenshots

It is mentioned in the change log of 0.7.0:

Users no longer see the "Generate Image" action button in chat message interfaces; custom function should be used. Commit
