 * This plugin is shaping up really nicely, IMHO, thanks for your work!
 * There’s one thing dummy me hasn’t understood at all – how am I supposed to use
   Slick’s “asNavFor” option in WordPress? I tried duplicating a slider, adding 
   an ID one of the duplicates (using large images), and telling the thumbnail slider
   to work as navigation, but so far nothing happens.
    Also, manually set slider
   IDs (in Text mode) get deleted when editing the gallery/slider in visual mode.
   Surely that can’t be the way its intended to be?
 * TIA for any hints.

 * Hi, I just tested this and it works for me:
    1. Create two sliders
    2. Visit the post in frontend, inspect source code and note the `id`s of both sliders(
       like `<div class="slick-slider […] id="slick-slider-1"`)
    3. Enter the `id` of slider 1 into the field `asNavFor` on slider 2 and vice versa(
       as string: `#slick-slider-1`)
    4. Save the post
 * Check out section “Slider syncing” on the [official website](http://kenwheeler.github.io/slick/)
   for more info.

 * [@tyrannous](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tyrannous/) Ah yes, thanks a
   lot for the heads-up, this of course works as you said.
    Now I’m fiddling with
   all the other settings 🙂
