# Troubleshooting Buttons

If PixieBrix doesn't find the right button, you have a few options

You can try the more advanced route of trying to select a CSS selector by hand. This however requires you to be able to somehow place a button anywhere on the page, even if it’s not in your desired location. Then to change the button placement, you will have to tweak the ***Location*** (under the button’s configuration) and the ***Template*** (under Advanced)

> *Sometimes however none of this works, that’s when we suggest to simply try another starter brick as mentioned above, either a Quick Bar or a Context Menu*

### Troubleshooting Buttons

Here are some things you can try if you have problems adding buttons.

**Option 1: While placing a button, press the Shift key**

Try clicking around in different areas of the page while holding down the **Shift** key. To see this in action, watch the [Advance Button Placement and Alternatives](https://www.loom.com/share/343fa92f9cd846eaba38046220e470fe) video.

**Option 2: Use the CSS Selector manually**

You can also try using the [CSS selector](https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_selectors.php) manually. First, place the button anywhere on the page, even if it’s not your desired location. Then, you may tweak the CSS in the **Location** field and the code in the **Template** \*\*field.

**Option 3: Use a different extension**

If all else fails, you can use a [Context Menu](https://www.notion.so/Creating-and-Configuring-a-Context-Menu-Item-12e0fa2a29a049c38d266c6841253c16?pvs=21) or a [Quick Bar](https://www.notion.so/Creating-and-Configuring-a-Quick-Bar-Action-29e4099c921f401ab5f888a06c266ae9?pvs=21) instead of a button. The look will be different, but the functionality will be the same.
