Cannot enter the address- (Street)

Hi, I just created a new account. I entered in all the information, but when I try to put in the address the street section is greyed out I tried out everything clearing out the cache, using a different browser and computer too. 

 

I think I entered the location (initially) where I live from a different IP (as I am on holidays). I even tried to put this location. Could you please tell me how to fix this because it does not let me go any further

ACCEPTED SOLUTION

Hi Susan,

 

I'm sorry you are having trouble getting support and completing your address. We've found that similar issues have typically been resolved by slowly pacing your typing, by pausing in between numbers and words, and also by avoiding any abbreviations. Generally, by adhering to these best practices, your address should automatically appear in a dropdown, and when it does, please click on your address. 

 

Here are some specifics regarding abbreviations:

 

  • Instead of St, please type Street
  • Instead of N, please type North
  • Instead of Ave, please type Avenue
  • Instead of SE, please type South East

 

Also, you can separate each portion of your address with a comma, all within the “Enter street address” bar. Your address should automatically appear as you proceed with typing out the information. If not, you should see the 'Enter address manually' option after typing your address slowly.

Hi Canva,

 

I checked this for you and I was not able to replicate the issue you are experiencing. Please, try clearing your cache and cookies and using a different browser to check if you are able to click on the field above the street field which is greyed, click the one with text ''Start typing your address'' and you will be able to update your address information.

 

Let us know if you have any other questions and please check this help article for more information on how to update your profile photo, thank you!

Hi there,

 

I am having trouble entering my address. It does not auto-populate when I start typing it in, and the Country is greyed out and states "UK" even though I am in the US. Can you please assist? Thank you!

 

SIncerely,

Lavanya

Hi Lavanya,

 

Your Country was updated to the US. Could you please try to add the rest of the information on your profile?

 

Thank you!

Hi Bojan!

 

I'm having the same problem. I updated my address, entered into the automatic select address as you fill it in field (where it says ''Start typing your address'') but I also see the same greyed out street address box and cannot change that line to update it?

 

Could someone from the Upwork team contact me to help solve this please?

 

Thank you!

Hi, I'm currently signing up and having a similar issue. I can enter my full address, zip, city etc but the "Next" button remains blocked out. It also doesn't recognize "Brooklyn, NY" as a city, althought it comes up with "Brooklyn, OH" and many others. Thanks

My home address needs to be added to the list.

 

**Edited for community guidelines**

There are only certain fields where you can enter information, so your suggestion is just a little bit ridiculous.

I updated my address (in a new country), then went to submit a proposal for a job. When I hit "submit", an error box popped up saying the proposal couldn't be submitted because I have to update my address first. I checked and my address was indeed already updated. How do I fix this so I can submit a proposal?

Hi Meredith,

 

I checked this for you and City field under your address information is still not filled. Please, log in to your account and fill all the fields under your location information.

Please let us know if the issue persists after this and our team will assist you further. Thank you.

Hi LaTonya,

 

I checked this for you and I was not able to replicate the issue you are experiencing. Please, try clearing your cache and cookies and using a different browser to check if you are able to click on the field with text ''Start typing your address''. You should be able to update your address information. Let us know if you need further help. Thank you.

Ok, I was able to update my address but now I can't submit my proposal. See
screenshot.

Hi LaTonya, 

It looks like you are yet to update your address which is why you are unable to send out a proposal. Please go to this page of your account (Settings > Contact Info > Address) and fill-in your complete address in the address section. Once filled-in correctly, you should be able to start bidding for projects on Upwork. 

Let me know if you need further assistance.

Hello,

My address is already filled out. Still can't submit proposal.

You will need to choose between our Basic or Plus membership plan. Please go to Settings > Membership & Connects and select a plan in order to be able to start bidding on projects. If you would like to read more details about our membership plans check out this Help Article.

Hi, Bojan.

 

I am encountering the same issues, even after I have already selected my membership plan and have updated my address. 

Hi Paul,

 

I checked your account and it seems that you already added your address and that the only thing that's missing from your account is the city. Kindly go to Settings > Contact Info and add your city under the Account section.

 

Thank you.

Hello. I was trying to create my profile to as a freelancer and when I got all the way down to the bottom of the page to input my address, the street box was grayed out with a red caution like symbol that popped up every time I tried to click on it. I wouldn't let me click continue because it says I'm missing a field. This is weird and I looked online and saw in the community chats on your site that others were having this same issues. However it seems that the issue was never fixed. Please help. This is hindering people from creating profiles being apart of your company.

Hi Laquisha, 


I checked your account and can see that this issue has already been resolved. Let us know if you will be needing further help with anything.

Same issue. I can't pass the screen to enter address, because of the locked box.

Hello, I'm trying to set up my profile. But my home address is not recognized by the system. What should I do?

The same thing is happening to me.

Hi Amanda, 

 

Is your address not available in the drop-down selection? Could you please send me a PM with more information, including your address information so I can check?

I have tried clearing cache and using another browser, but I still cannot choose my own address. It seems that my address is not recognisable by the website or it isn't listed. What can I do?

Hi Auni,

I checked your account and can confirm that you`ve already added your address to your account. You can view the details about your address by going to Settings > Contact Info > Location. Thank you.
