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Sometimes a photo has simply had its day — old work, an old haircut, a piece that no longer represents you.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.

How it works

  1. Get your access prompt. Log in to bernard, open your site, and copy the prompt from Edit with AI (it contains a key that works for 12 hours).
  2. Paste it into your AI — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, whichever you already use — then ask in your own words, or use the prompt below.
  3. 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.

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.

The [bracketed] parts are yours to fill in. First time? Log in to bernard → your site → Edit with AI → copy your access prompt, paste that into your AI first, then ask the above.

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.
