Hello again. Newb time.
I finally have SDXL working great but posing people has become quite tricky. I wanted to install ControlNet but have failed 4 times so far and don’t know why it is not showing up. I have the XL base model, Refiner and Lora installed. I rebooted everything and then installed the “sd-webui-controlnet” Extension from “https://github.com/Mikubill/sd-webui-controlnet” using the “Install from URL” option. I then went to the “Installed” tab within the “EXtensions” tab and hit update. Latewst update. Good so far. I then shut webui down ( Terminal command control + C ) then shut down the browser. I relaunched so the ControlNet folder would be created and anything else the extension might need to do. I the shut down again and moved the “OpenPoseXL2.safetensors” file to the ” stable-diffusion-webui/models/ControlNet folder. I downloaded the ControlNet Safetensor file from ” https://huggingface.co/thibaud/controlnet-openpose-sdxl-1.0/tree/main”. I then rebooted the AUTOMATIC1111 webui made sure the ControlNet extension was enable in the extensions/installed tabs. went to txt2img and loaded the SDXL base model “sd_xl_base_1.0.safetensors”. But nothing is happening. I shut down and rebooted again. Check that the extension was enabled, but still I am not seeing anything in the txt2img area at all. Nor the img2img area. Am I missing something or is one of these files wrong? I also have the “juggernautXL_ragnarokBy.safetensors” model installed but I get the same result. The only place I see anything about ControlNet is the script dropdown in txt2img and img2img. I have only been messing with this for about 5 days now, but this has been the biggest issue for me. I hope it is just a typical super newb screw up and any advice is welcome. Thank you all for your help and I hope to be getting to some more tutorials soon. Thanks ahead of time.

Hi, do you see any error message during startup?
Controlnet stops working recently. See if this solution help: https://github.com/Mikubill/sd-webui-controlnet/issues/3103
I have also fixed it in the colab version: https://stable-diffusion-art.com/automatic1111-colab/

I do see an issue in the terminal window during boot. There is this warning.
ControlNet init warning: Unable to install insightface automatically. Please try run
pip install insightfacemanually.I don’t know what I’m doing here but I tried running pip install insightface in my initial terminal directory as well as the stable-diffusion-webui directory but I get: zsh: command not found: pip. I did install AUTOMATIC1111 via Homebrew according to the stable diffusion instructions here: How to install and run Stable Diffusion on Apple Silicon Macs: Any ideas?
Thanks for the help.

The warning should not prevent controlnet from showing.
You can try deleting the venv folder in stable-diffusion-webui:
cd stable-diffusion-webuirm -rf venvIn terminal, switch to the dev branch:
git checkout devstart webui:
./webui.shIf you have controlnet installed, you should see an error:
AttributeError: module ‘mediapipe’ has no attribute ‘solutions’
Fix it by downgrading mediapipe:
./venv/bin/pip install mediapipe==0.10.21 -

I added IP-adapter into the controlnet interface and was messing with that for a few days now but then I accidentally did something very stupid. I deleted a model from my stable-diffusion model folder. It was the model sd was using the last time I loaded it and now when I boot automatic1111 webui I am stuck in a controlnet loop,”controlnet is enabled but no input image is given”. It starts loading or downloading but it never ends. I deleted controlnet, or at least I think I did, but it is still happening. Is there a way to get it working again or did I just set myself up for yet another full install.

I ended up deleting the entire thing and starting from scratch. I see the there is an updated version of installing ControlNet on this site at ” https://stable-diffusion-art.com/controlnet/” . I did not find this last time. Missed what was right under my nose. I’m hoping this guide gets me through the crap that drove me mad last time. Thanks for all the help here. I just wanted to let anyone who reads this know, that I deleted the entire thing and started from scratch.
