I'm having trouble getting some of my XL stuff to work. most of my XL loras don't show up in my Lora list. Right now only 1 of probably 12 show up but for some reason I think they may still work with the right tag? I copied some prompts and was able to get the character in the lora but it doesn't show up on my list for me to make an image for the icon. The models work just fine without any loras so I don't think its a problem with them. I tried looking around to see if there's anything else I need to run XL stuff but havn't had any luck. I've got a gtx3060 12g vram so I don't think that's the issue. I've made regular images without any issue (at least once I found out how to use the correct VAE). I can't remember if I ever installed something to help with XL stuff or if it came with an update. I'm not sure if there's something else that I need to download in order to get XLs to work. I'm just having trouble understanding XL and how to make it work proporly.
On a random note I also notice some SD models make a bunch of loras disappear from the list when they're loaded up. not sure what causes that either, may be something related to why I don't see any of my XL loras?
One last question. Is there a way to convert an XL to an SD? I have a lot of SD styles I really like to mix and there have been a lot of new XL styles I'd like to mix with them but don't think I can use them on the SD model I mainly use and there's no XL versions of the model or the other lora styles. I'm not always making super large images so I don't NEED XL all the time for this stuff so I don't mind size loss or anything like that. I'm just wondering if it's possible.

That because you are using SD1.5 checkpoint.
And the only LORA-SDXL you saw is because that SDXL lack metadata, so the Auto1111 can not destinguist which version it depends then just show it out.
So, please remember.
Using SD1.5 checkpoint, There are 1.5 LORA which have complete metadata.
Using SDXL checkpoint, There are XL LORA which have complete metadata.
I had some of my XL loras not show up in the list as well. I hit the refresh button and then I restarted SD and they all showed up. As far as converting XL to SD, as far as I know there is no way to do that. Loras only work with the model version that they are created on.

Yes, these are compatibility settings in A1111. If you have a XL checkpoint loaded, you will only see compatible LoRAs and embeddings, the rest is hidden - and vice versa, if you have a 1.5 checkpoint loaded, XL LoRAs are hidden.

No, they would have to be retrained from scratch, their parameters are again not compatible.
