I want an old photo taken down
Sometimes a photo has simply had its day - old work, an old haircut, a piece that no longer represents you. On a bernard-hosted site you take it down by describing it; no file managers, no hunting for the right thumbnail.
The prompt
“Remove the photo of [what the photo shows] from my [page name] page, and tidy the layout so there’s no gap left behind.”
Signed in, Get my prompt fills in your site for you. Otherwise press Copy and fill in the [bracketed] parts. First time? Connect your AI to bernard once: Use your own AI (opens in a new tab).
How it works
- Connect bernard to your AI (once). Log in to bernard, open your site, go to Use your own AI, and paste the setup prompt into your AI to connect it - a one-time setup.
- Paste it into your AI - ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, whichever you already use - then ask in your own words, or use the prompt below.
- Approve. The AI sends back a preview link. Check the page looks tidy without the photo, press Approve, and it’s live.
You don’t need to know the photo’s filename - “the third one on the gallery page, the blue landscape” is plenty. The AI reads the page and works out which image you mean.
Questions people ask
- How do I remove a photo from my website?
- If your site is hosted with bernard, describe the photo to the AI you already use - ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini - and which page it’s on. It takes the image out and tidies the layout around it, and nothing goes live until you approve the preview.
- Can I swap the photo for a better one instead?
- Yes - paste the new photo into the chat and ask the AI to replace the old one with it. Same flow: you check the preview, then press Approve.
- What if I regret removing it later?
- bernard keeps a full year of your site’s history, so a removed photo isn’t gone for good - ask the AI to put the page back how it was, or restore an earlier version yourself from your bernard dashboard.
