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.
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.
