Hi all,

 

If you are a new freelancer and don't earn money on Upwork within 90 days of your first proposal, or you choose not to submit a proposal within your first 90 days, your profile will change to private. 

 

When your profile is set to private it is not shown in freelancer search results but rest assured, clients are still able to see your profile when you submit proposals!


You can request that your profile visibility is reset by clicking this link found in this help article.

My profile's availability badge is locked to private.
I tried the link: https://support.upwork.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003975967-Profile-Changed-to-Private
Same page is loading again.
Tried contacting support: failed, page is not loading.

Please fix my availability badge to public.
Thanks!

Why is my account set to privat as I just finished project? 

I can't switch it manually , how so? 

In Upwork rules I read that if you had no projects last 90 days you account may be set to Privat, so How so if I finished project 2 weeks ago, my account set up to Privat almost imidiatelly I ended the contract? 
How you decide it with the profiles? Why I can't swch it manually?

so i've been working lately on upwork then i noticed that my profile went private and there's no option to change it back to public when i  checked on the help center found this button that says switch to public account but, when i click on it nothing changes and nothing pops up to my screen meaning that the button isn't working at all. any help regarding this issue i'd appreciate that.

Hi Ilyass,

 

It looks like you need to update your profile picture in order for your profile to be allowed to be public again. Please, make sure that it's a clear photo of yourself, not a long shot, that your face is visible, and that the following requirements are met:

 

- You are not wearing sunglasses in the photo

- It is not a logo or clip-art

- It is not a group photo

- The picture was not digitally-altered

- The maximum size is 5 MB

 

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. Please check this help article for more information about profile pictures and tips on choosing an excellent profile photo.
