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 Syeda,

 

Thank you for reaching out to us. Does it give you the option to enter the address manually? If so, you may enter your full address using that. If not, please let me know so I can have the Customer Support team further assist you with this.

No , it doesn't let me type in the address manually.

Hi Syeda,

 

Thank you for your message. Please try typing a few characters of your address in the Street address box and if you do not see your address in the list, please select any random street address. You will receive an error, 'Unable to recognize your street number' and get an option to 'Enter address manually'. Feel free to message us if problems persist.  

 

Thank you,

I can't enter the street address as the data bar is not working and not allowing me to type anything.

Hi Zawaar,

 

Thank you for reaching out and welcome to Upwork! I tried but wasn’t able to replicate the issue you’re describing. I can also see an address that's been added to your account. If you still need assistance editing your address, could you please try using a different browser or the incognito mode of your current browser? You may also try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies. You can then edit your address by going to Settings> Contact Info> Proceed to edit by hitting the Pencil Icon here.

Kindly check and review. I can input my city and number but the street address cannot be completed. I simply cannot manually type the address, there's no clickable textbox.

 

Please resolve.

Hello, I'm Yenal KOCER.

I am trying to create an account on Upwork, but whatever I write in the "Fill in your street addresses" section in the address add section is not accepted and I cannot create an account. I saw that many people are victims of this issue, can you help me?

Please note that your profile must represent you as an individual and that all the information in your profile including your profile photo needs to be accurate, truthful, and verifiable. Your profile photo should be a clear, headshot-style photo of you which is cropped from the top of your head, and just below your shoulders, and -

 

  • you are not wearing sunglasses in the photo;
  • it is not a logo or clip-art;
  • it is not a group photo; 
  • the photo was not digitally-altered 

 

Please check this help article for more information on how to update your profile photo.

Hello,

I'm not too sure where to post this, but I have been very frustrated trying to enter my street address and it keeps saying it is not being recognised. I've tried various combinations but nothing seems to work and I can't complete my profile. I've never had this problem on any other website.

 

Regards

 

Colin

Solved it. I needed to upload a photo (I didn't use my own photo for privacy reasons).

I am new and trying to set up my profile.  I am unable to locate my city in the drop down menu and when I type it in by hand, it does not recognize the city.  I would like to move on and get started!  What can I do to fix this?

 

Christine Fritz

Hi Christine,

 

Sorry to hear you're having difficulties adding your address. Does it give you the option to enter the address manually? If so, you may enter your full address using that. If not, please let me know with a screenshot of what you can see from your end and I'll have the Customer Support team further assist you with this.

It will not recognize that Springfield,  NE is a place.........Nebraska is not an option!

Thank you for your response and confirmation, Christine.

 

I have shared your report with the appropriate team and one of the members will be assisting you further via a support ticket. You can access your ticket and coordinate with the team on this page.
