   Same problem--please let me know if you figure out a solution. I'll definitely post here if I find anything.

   Got a fix if you need it--you'll need to have direct file access to your blog on your server though. In your blog directory, go to:

   /wp-content/plugins/fbconnect/

   then open the file called fbConfig_php4.php. Go down to the very end (lines 143-147). Should look like this:

   function json_encode($data){
   	require_once 'facebook-client4/classes/JSON.php';
   	$json = new Services_JSON();
   	return $json->encode($data);
   }

   We're just going to comment out this section of code so it never runs--with the wordpress 2.9 update, this section is obsolete. So, add two backslashes to the start of every line. Should look like this:

   //function json_encode($data){
   //	require_once 'facebook-client4/classes/JSON.php';
   //	$json = new Services_JSON();
   //	return $json->encode($data);
   //}

   That's it! Things should be back up and running.
