Quick Answer
Resolve conflicts: use $(function($) {})(jQuery) IIFE to ensure $ is jQuery. Add a conflict check: if ($.fn.myPlugin) { console.warn("myPlugin already defined"); return; }. Use plugin namespacing for data keys and event names. If two plugins both extend the same element type, the last .on() call wins for the same event - use namespaced events to prevent this.
Answer
Use $.noConflict() to release $ alias. Wrap plugin code in an IIFE. Example: (function($){ $(element).plugin(); })(jQuery); Prevents interference with Prototype, Zepto, etc.
