## FAQ
How Do I Place In Custom Locations?
In Content
1. Using the visual editor – Add the tag [mwm-aal-display] into your
individual content using the visual editor. 2. PHP Template Tag(must be below the_content())
output_content_links(); ?>
In Sidebar
1. Activate Widget – Go to Appearance -> Widgets in WordPress admin “
MWM Auto Anchor List”. 2. PHP Template Tag output_sidebar_links(); ?>
How Do I Add Custom Styles?
The content display and side bar are wrapped with a
<
div> with an assigned css class. You can put the classes into your own style sheet
and use further declarations to target elements within the div.
```
For Content:(uses ,Does not use an H tag for title)
.mwm-aal-container{}
.mwm-aal-container-title{}
For Sidebar: (uses , traditional h2 tag for title)
mwm-aal-sidebar-container{}
```

### [Works – with errors…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-with-errors-2/)
[Jonathan Camp](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nampara17/) 2018-08-08
This works with heading levels. Have some issues: * If you add attributes to headings
the heading is missed from the table of contents * There are many errors on the
admin page that show that could easily be fixed by the author * Styling is flexible–
but you have to add your own css rather than have the styling in the admin of the
plugin which would be useful * There are no options to position the TOC. It comes
out where the shortcode is added. This is a plus and minus. I like it but I would
think for those less able to style pages it would be an issue. Overall I like the
plugin and it does what it says. If the author could get rid of the pesky errors
that are displayed in the admin interface it would get a 5* review from me.
