How can I affix the toilet paper holder to the wall?
Is there a trick to keeping the extension for TP holder secured to the wall. One side seems to be fine. The other falls off all the time! See my image of the connector attached to wall. Thanks y'all for suggestions! Just moved into this house and have tons of these kinds of things to fix!!thanks again ‘Stephanie Ward

Hi Stephanie, your picture did not come through.
Please try posting it again so that we can see the dilemma that you have.
Okay, here we go...
Sorry but no picture.
Hi Stephanie,
There should be a little screw that screws into the holder that keeps the holder attached to the piece on the wall. Is there a screw for it? If not it may need a small screw or need to be tightened if you already have a screw.
You may need to use a drywall anchor.
This is a very common problem. The screws are not staying affixed tightly to the wall because there is no wood inside the wall in the place where you want to mount the holder. The screws likely not being long enough is probably another cause of the problem.
Yes, drywall anchors with longer screws should do the trick for you here.
The picture below is a cross section view of how a drywall anchor works.
The article link offers more in depth reading on different types of anchors.

Thanks to all for your suggestions on my TP issue!
Take Care!
