Adding a person to the People Profile page in Photos for Mac

How do I get a person's link to show up on the People page? I have 23 photos of someone identified in all of the pictures but they do not show up in the People page. When I use the search box their name pops right up after just a couple of letters and I can get to those photos, but they do not show up on the People page.

Hello Larry in GA,

Thanks for posting to the Apple Support Communities. I understand identified photos are not appearing on the People page in Photos. I'll be happy to help in any way I can.

Here are some suggestions:

Try manually adding their names into the photos or identifying the person again: Find and identify photos of people using Photos on Mac - Apple Support
Restart your Mac if you still feel it should be displaying from the Apple () menu then Restart...
If you feel there's an issue with the library itself, you can try repairing it: How to use the Photos library repair tool - Apple Support

Have a great day.

Thank you! It took a restart and further messing with it to get to a page that asked me if I wanted to add the person to People album. That had not been visible before. Thanks, again!
