My photo or media is missing
An image that uploaded but did not stick, or one that shows in the Portal but not publicly.
Short answer
An image that appeared and then vanished usually uploaded successfully but was never saved. Reopen the panel, check whether the image is there, and save. If it shows in the Portal but not publicly, the section may be hidden.
Two different problems wear the same face. Work out which one you have first.
It uploaded and then vanished
Uploading and saving are separate. The image reaches CardCloser immediately; the record pointing at it is written when you save the panel.
- Reopen the panel.
- If the image is there, save now.
- If it is not, upload it again and save before leaving the panel.
It shows in the Portal but not on the public page
The image is stored. Something else is stopping it appearing.
- The section is hidden.
- Check Profile Sections. A Meet Me photo cannot appear if About is switched off.
- You have not published since adding it.
- Save, then check the live page. It refreshes within the hour, or immediately if you republish.
- Your profile is not public at all.
- See Why your profile is not public.
- Your access has ended.
- An inactive profile serves no media publicly. The files are untouched.
A listing photo is missing
Property photos belong to the property record. If one is missing, reopen the property in the Listings tab, check the photos are attached, and save the property.
Where your images actually live
Uploaded media is held privately. When your profile is public, CardCloser publishes a copy alongside it; when you unpublish, that copy is withdrawn and the private original stays.
Unpublishing does not delete your photos. If your images vanished from the public page at the same moment your profile went private, that is the expected behaviour, not data loss.
If none of this explains it
- Note which image, in which panel.
- Note whether it is visible in the Portal.
- Use Report a problem and include both, plus a screenshot if you can.
