Responsive Slider Plugin-css, Slider troubles

Hey there, I'm on the last lesson for the section, but the slider won't display the images, it still shows the two buttons below where the images would be, I was wondering if there is anything else that may cause this besides the examples in the video. Here is the code as well, though its mostly the places with wmuslider that I've been working on.

<style type="text/css">
    .wmuSlider {
        position: relative;
        overflow: hidden;
        height:310px;
    }
    .wmuSlider .wmuSliderWrapper {
        display: none;
    }
    .wmuSlider .wmuSliderWrapper article {
        position: relative;
        height:310px;
    }
    .wmuSliderPagination {
        z-index: 2;
        position: absolute;
        left: 48%;
        bottom: 10px;
    }
    .wmuSliderPagination li {
        float: left;
        margin: 0 5px 0 0;
        list-style-type: none;
    }
    .wmuSliderPagination a {
        display: block;
        text-indent: -9999px;
        width: 10px;
        height: 10px;
        background: #4FB69F;
        border-radius: 5px;
        -webkit-border-radius: 5px;
        -moz-border-radius: 5px;
    }
    .wmuSliderPagination a.wmuActive {
        background: #349C79;
    }
        @media screen and (max-width: 650px) {
            .wmuSlider {
                display:none;
            }
        }
</style>

Also the other section: <script src="js/jquery.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.wmuSlider.min.js"></script> <script src="external/matchmedia.js"></script> <script src="picturefill.js"></script>

<script src="jquery.fitvids.js"></script>
 <script src="jquery.fittext.js"></script>

<script>

      $("#featured-video").fitVids();
      setTimeout(function(){
        $(".fittext").fitText(2.2);
      }, 2);

    var options = {navigationControl: false, animation: "slide"};
    $(".wmuSlider").wmuSlider(options);
</script>

Thanks.

I think I may have been experiencing the same issue as you. I removed this part of the code from the CSS and it seemed to fix it.

.wmuSlider .wmuSliderWrapper {
    display: none;
}

Try changing the display from none to block

``` .wmuSlider .wmuSliderWrapper { display: block; }

It worked for me.

I had the same issue. Commenting out the display CSS seems to fix it as Ian has mentioned.

I'm not sure why on the video it still works because if you display something as none then you would expect it not to be displayed!
