[audreymakokha]

Hi,

I am trying to create a profile on upwork but I am unable to complete the process because upwork does not recognize my city.

Please help.

Thank you

That is probably because you have "accidentally" set your country as "Great Britain" although you are in Kenya.

Hi Mandlenkosi,

Unfortunately, Upwork isn't able to service some countries and these countries aren't available in the location settings.

Is Barisal, Bangladesh listed on the city?

As per checking, Barisal is available to be selected from the drop-down menu. May you please clear your cache and cookies or log in with another browser to check if you`re still experiencing the same issue.

Hi,

for your information: I had the same problem and the solution was "turning off my vpn application running in the background"

With best regards,

Hi, Goran.

I tried clearing the cache and history of chrome but the same error message prompted. Thus I tried to use Edge but it couldn't even load the page.
