Default how to get old wallpaper to stick

Our old wall paper edges are now unraveling and curling. I bought a
bunch of wall paper glue etc and nothing makes the paper stick to the
wall. Any ideas? Maybe there is a paste or special adhesive I don't
know about? thanks

Contact cement? Caution, will show yellow glue if it oozes out of the edge.

Clear silicone. But if wallpaper has some powerful curl, it may pull away
probably until it sets.

Plain old glue stick. Have no idea if it would work but it's dirt cheap.

Maybe a real paint store or the like that sells wallpaper would give you
some good direction.
