I’m unable to change my profile picture. Each time I try, it says “No file chosen” or it redirects me back to my user page. Is there something wrong?

Yep. If I try to add a profile picture, it says no file chosen, or it says “File type is not proper” or something, even if my picture is in png. I converted it into JPG too, still it says the same. Any ideas?

Exactly my problem.

Try doing so here: https://wikihow.com/Special:Avatar?type=nonmodal&useformat=desktop

@Awesome_Aasim Still, no change. Same problem.

Hmmm… I think the issue is something to do with the redesign. A bunch of redesign issues have been noted by @JayneG . I know on the old design, which can be enabled temporarily by visiting here , the thing works. When done, open the F12 developer tools and delete the following entry under “cookies” in the “Application” tab on Chrome/Edge:

I am not sure about Firefox, and this is definitely not intuitive anyway, but at least it’s better than nothing.

@Awesome_Aasim nothing…

@Awesome_Aasim - no change for both the posts:(

I’m sorry… looks like something must have changed:frowning:
Guess I have to wait for Jayne and the epic wikiHaus to patch this.

I know the wikiHaus knows about it, but if you are having trouble, I believe you can delete your profile picture then upload a new one. I think it was put as low priority though as it is not super crucial for editing, anyway.

Thanx Aasim! Actually I did delete the pfp, but nothing changed. Well guess we just have to wait and see what will be done, but thanx so much!
You too @Authenticity !

What you need to do is to keep trying over and over again. It will eventually work.
