Account Locked, Profile Switched to PRIVATE

[Nathan B]

Avery - It looks like that support article doesn't work.

Well, thanks for setting my profile back to public, however, I don't see any incentive to continue putting the amount of fruitless effort I have into countless proposals on a platform that not only wants to take a percentage the payments I recieve, but also randomly sets my profile to private until I pay a premium fee. Frankly, this is not the type of environment I want to participate in.

Hi Nathan, could you please check if the link to the help article Avery added to her post still doesn't work for you? 

[Nathan B]

Valeria - yes it works now, thanks.

Hello, I have the same problem. Please help.

Hi Cristine,

Your profile visibility was updated back to public as requested. Please check this help article to learn more about how you can avoid having your profile automatically set to private.

Thank you.

WOw. Thank you so much!

This happened to me! I am trying my best and received a rising talent badge earlier. I am sure I would start earning soon.

Setting my account to private disappoint's me . Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you,

Hi Sameed,

I’ve reset your profile visibility back to public. Just so that you are aware, profiles of freelancers with a history of earnings on the platform will remain public unless they have not earned in more than 2 years. Profiles of new freelancers who haven’t earned on Upwork will be set to private after 90 days.To avoid this, you can resume earnings on a new contract or upgrade your membership to the Plus plan. You can check out more info about this here. Thank you.

Thanks. Have a great day!

Hi,

My accounts visibility has been set to private?

Please help me so that it can become public once again.

Thanks
