Oh no, I broke the pluralstories code! D:
EDIT: Solution in progress! Thanks, friends!
Sneak: Soooo, it turns out my clever solution to the plural tagging problem by batch-renaming them as "1+" means that I can no longer get the "AND" command working to cross-reference multiple 1+ tags. It seems that adding the + sign (or any symbol that isn't a letter or number) changes the 1+ tag URL from pluralstories.dreamwidth.org/tag/plural:blahblahblah to pluralstories.dreamwidth.org/?tag=1%2B:blahblahblah. The OR command still seems to work (apparently it's the default if you just list the comments, as shown with https://pluralstories.dreamwidth.org/?tag=1%2B:relationships:romantic,1%2B:creator+speaks+from+experience,price:free ) but...
That... is a major problem. Like, I know kludging together the tag URLs for cross-referencing is really hard on mobile in general, but at least it wasn't IMPOSSIBLE. The whole reason I wanted to set it up this way was so people could cross-reference multiple tags at once and make sure they only got things that pinged ALL the correct tags!
I am also not sure how to FIX it. Like, batch renaming the tag to "plural" again has the same problems as before. Numbers get boosted up the ranks, but >1 just broke things completely, and any other number choice would be totally arbitrary.
The only other solution I can think of is to figure out a "1+" synonym that ranks alphabetically between "about" and "access," which is... I don't know any. (And "access" also doesn't come with any synonyms I can think of easily to give more wiggle room.)
Nooooooo. I tried too hard to be clever and reap my folly. T_T
