# If sortpin is not working despite being installed, what should I do?

{% hint style="info" %}
**Most common cause:** The SortPin extension is **disabled** in the toolbar menu. Quick fix below — takes 30 seconds.

## ⚡ Quick Fix (30 seconds)

Most "not working" issues happen because SortPin is **turned off** in the extension menu. Try this first:

### Step 1 — Click the SortPin Icon

Click the **SortPin icon** in the top bar (middle/upper-left of your screen).

## ❓ Common Issues

**Q: I see SortPin icon but no data appears on Pinterest pages** A: Follow the Quick Fix above — toggle SortPin ON in the home menu.

**Q: SortPin worked yesterday but stopped today** A: Try clearing cache (Fix 2). If still broken, reinstall (Fix 1).

**Q: SortPin shows "Login Required" but I'm logged in** A: Log out of Pinterest, clear browser cookies for pinterest.com, then log in again. Reload SortPin.
