 * I have the following warning, Im wondering what course of action I should take?
 * File or directory names may cause issues when working across different environments
   and servers. Names that are over 250 characters, contain special characters (
   such as * ? > < : / \ |) or are unicode might cause issues in a remote enviroment.
   It is recommended to remove or filter these files before building the archive
   if you have issues at install time.

 * Hey Chris,
 * If you don’t have any issues installing the plugin then you should be OK. The“:”
   in the revslider plugin doesn’t look correct did you check to see if that was
   an actual file or directory at that path?
 * Hope that helps!

 * Thanks for your help.
 * I decided to rebuild the site, it was only small and took just a few hours.
 * Thanks again

 * Sounds Good! You may also touch base with the revslider author, that does look
   like an issue with the path…
 * Cheers~
