 * Just tried to install this plug-in, and it broke WordPress. On activation, WordPress
   hung. Server log reports:
 * PHP Fatal error: Wrong parameters for Exception([string $exception [, long $code]])
   in /var/www/vhosts/<domain>/httpdocs/blog/wp-content/plugins/facebook/includes/
   facebook-php-sdk/base_facebook.php on line 54, referer: <domain>/blog/wp-admin/
   plugins.php
 * Had to use FTP to delete the plug-in to get access to the Dashboard again.
 * I did have the Wordbooker plug-in, but deleted this after reading some other 
   support threads saying that two FB plug-ins would conflict.
 * Any advice appreciated…

 * HI i just got this also? Any ideas what this may be about? I’ve just been experimenting
   there – are you using multi site? I’ve just done a clean install without multi
   site and it worked then installed a network and it gives me this exception?

 * No idea what’s behind this. I have had a problem in the past with plug-ins that
   call other sites. I have to add the IP address of the target site to the server
   firewall… wondering if I may need to add a Facebook IP address to the firewall,
   but that’s a long-shot.
 * Standard install of 3.3.2 – Not a multi-site.
 * FWIW – Other installed plug-ins are: After The Deadline, Akismet, All-in-One 
   SEO, Feedburner Feedsmith, Google XML Sitemaps, WordPress.com Stats, WP to Twitter
   and WPTouch

 * Hmm thats really strange? I thought it was my multi site that was cuasing this–
   a brand new install! becuase i’ve done another brand new install and without 
   multi site and its worked? I’ve deactivated all other plug-ins by the way in 
   both of the above cases! I’ll update this thread if i figure it out!

 * The specific “Fatal error” was caused by a bug that was fixed in today’s release(
   v 1.0.2). This should only have been triggered when your server can’t connect
   to Facebook, however, and I can’t say what was causing that without more information.
   Try updating to the latest version of the plugin, and let us know if you continue
   to experience issues.
