Upwork website/account not working after moving from Elance

[hazynite]

So I received an email inviting me to move my Elance profile over to Upwork.

After following the instructions, I seem to have an account but the entire website isn't working for me. No matter what Upwork URL I enter (e.g. just www.upwork.com) it redirects me to https://www.upwork.com/edc-migration/agency, which just shows a blank page.

I've tried logging in on a private browsing session, on a different browser etc., no dice. I end up on https://www.upwork.com/edc-migration/agency.

Has anyone else experienced this? Hope to fix this soon. Thank you.

Hi Brook,

Are you still unable to log into your new Upwork account? If so, could you please follow this link as contact Customer Support?

I am having the exact same problem as Brook. I'm very unhappy with this change and I have an established reputation on Elance!

I just linked my Elance and Upwork profiles, and when I try to search for a job, or do anything really, it just redirects to https://www.upwork.com/edc-migration/agency a blank page. I also get a 503 error(found this out by checking the "network" tab in chrome dev tools.

Same issue for 3 days now. Not very encouraging that it still isn't fixed.

I've been having the same problem too since moving from Elance!

I can actually get a little further into Upwork now after putting my login details in, but if I click the 'Freelancers' tab I get sent to https://www.upwork.com/edc-migration/agency again and the same thing happens when I try to access my settings.

Also, I assume that the 'Freelancers' tab is where I search for new jobs that I can apply for?

Any help is much appreciated!

Hi Ben,

It sounds like you are looking at your client profile. You got both your client and your freelancer profiles copied to Upwork. In order to start searching for jobs and applying, you need to switch to your freelancer profile by clicking on your name in the right upper corner and selecting the second option. There you should see the Find Work tab. If you run into some problems, please contact Customer Support.

I've had this issue for over a week now.... How do I get access to upwork? Elance is fine but whenever I try and log in and go to the home page, I get:

https://www.upwork.com/edc-migration/agency

With a blank screen - very frustrating...

[lenaellis]

I apologize for the error you’re experiencing.  To fix it, please go to https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/elance/import

This should allow you to finish your profile set up and should correct the issue.

Great! Thanks, Lena! I'm now on!
