   I am experiencing difficulties with this plug-in when I use other plug-ins that also use FB's API.

   As you can see here the author of that plug-in states that it's the 'fault' of the official plug-in. So, can this compatibility issue get fixed?

   +1 for this. Rewriting all plugins to use the Facebook_WP class instead of the plain Facebook class in the PHP SDK is a royal PITA.

   can we create 2 different APIs for 2 Facebook plugins?

   Followed up in http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-facebook-make-plugin-compatible-with-other-plugins-that-use-fb-api?replies=3

   Also, one of the reasons we're using Facebook_WP is so we avoid namespace collisions.

   Hi, Matt.

   I'm developper of a plugin which use Facebook's php-sdk 3.1.1(current latest) and found that Facebook plugin breaks my plugin.

   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gianism/

   I got an error which tells Fatal error: Access to undeclared static property: BaseFacebook::$CURL_OPTS in /path/to/facebook/includes/facebook-php-sdk/base_facebook.php on line 880 on $facebook->makeRequest().

   As it told, base_facebook.php doesn't have static member $CURL_OPTS.

   But I see Facebook-php-sdk on github, base_facebook.php has that member.

   https://github.com/facebook/facebook-php-sdk/blob/master/src/base_facebook.php

   It seems that Facebook plugin uses customized base_facebook.php. Please tell me what to do for coexistence.

   So if I'm using a plug in like digg digg (for floating sharers) or jetpack (for workdpress stats) even though I'm not using their facebook button, would I have issues?

   It looks like the plugin is duplicating code. What can I do? I can't get rid of the other ones.

   Matt, what exactly do you mean by "Followed up in"?

   I'm wondering the same question. Is there a way to make Facebook play nice with other plug-ins? Would other FB plugin developers update their plug-in to make them compatible with the official plugin?
