I am on this video in the Build an Interactive Website project, but wmuSlider is not working. Watching the video, I see that PreviousNext should have been appended to the page and some other functionality added, yet neither of those things are in my page. I have checked my code over and over again multiple times to make sure it corresponds with the teacher's yet it still does not work. I even downloaded the Project Files, and it still didn't work, so I don't really know what the issue is. I'll paste my code from index.html so that maybe someone can see what I have done wrong.

16,639 PointsThis slider's code is pretty awful. Kind of a shame they chose this among a myriad of superior options. ANYWAYS....
The problem here appears to be your function argument for navigationControl
Try changing:
navigationControl: false,
to:
navigationControl: true,

Courses Plus Student 11,927 PointsSo would you recommend not wasting my time struggling to figure this out and just watch the videos and learn the section without testing my own code?
Also, it was failing prior to when I typed that line of code in. I just reverted the code above to the state in which it began failing in the first place.
