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 switch it back to public by simply logging out and back into your Upwork account again. Note: Your profile will be automatically reset to the visibility option you had. (The options are public, only to other Upwork users, or private.)

Hi,

 

I can't change my hourly rate maybe because my account was locked from public to private. Please help me change and unlock it from private to unlock.

 

Thanks.

 

Hi Jaemaden,

 

I've reset your profile back to public as requested. However, when your profile is set to private, it is not shown in freelancer search results, but you should be able to change your hourly rate from your profile page. 

 

That said, I've escalated your community post to a support ticket for your hourly rate concern. One of our agents will be in touch with you soon to assist.

Hello Colleagues,

 

I have been a freelancer since 2012, I opened my oDesk profile then, and now it has become UpWork, unfortunately, it was not convenient for me to work inside Upwork, when it was oDesk I did one job and it also problematic because of my client was untrustworthy still the payment is pending, I quite oDesk then, and did the freelancing in other platforms.

Meanwhile, 2 times I tried to come back to Upwork, and unlock my profile, but due to the heavy workload in my daily life, I failed and could not continue with Upwork.

And this is my third time coming back to Upwork, and want to start with my work here but, I can't change my profile from private to public. This problem seems exceptional. if you check the link for the screen recording.

I have tried every recommended way, I changed my browser, Google Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, and also changed my PC to a laptop, and even when I tried from my phone, all results showed the same.

Hello, my account is set to locked private, so i search on the community blog and find a link that is supposed to unlock my account by clicking on it. After 1 day, my account still locked private. Can someone help me please?

Follow this step

First go to your profile and then find the bottom part of the display page and you will find help center and in the help center select the option says feelancer and in this section there is multiple question that can you ask and from those choose select Set accounts private or public and the upwork support team will review your question and they answer it in a few minutes!
