The plugin is designed for use with free Linkedin accounts. That is why we can only provide support for problems with free Linkedin accounts. In some cases, the plugin also works with paid Linkedin accounts. This makes it seem like the plugin should also work for paid accounts, but this is just a coincidence. Unfortunately, we cannot provide support when these paid accounts no longer work in combination with the plugin.
Linkedin and Xing regularly make changes. It may happen that this has an impact on the Carerix SocialBrowser and that we then need time to adjust the plugin. In such a case, please visit status.carerix.com for more information.
Update the plug-in
If the plugin needs to be updated, three lines will show orange in the top right corner of your Chrome browser. As soon as you click on this, you will be asked at the bottom of your screen whether you want to validate the update. After this you can refresh the Linkedin/Xing/VDAB page and continue using the most recent version of the plugin.
Remove / deactivate the plugin
You can easily remove or disable the plugin from your Chrome browser.
Open a LinkedIn/Xing/VDAB page in your browser.
Right-click on the Cx icon at the top right next to your address bar
Choose 'Remove from Chrome' to completely remove the plugin.
If you only want to deactivate the plugin temporarily, you can disable it via the 'Manage extensions'.
