I've read and re-read homebrew publishing rules time and time again, but I can't find what is failing here. Since November 1st, the web page isn't letting me publish my homebrew, and it isn't telling me why, not reasonably at least. On two of them, it just says the following:
Path of Pain is currently too similar to Circle of Spores to share with the community.
This homebrew Subclass does not have the necessary class features with the correct required levels.
Now, you may think otherwise, but my homebrews are not even close to the Circle of Spores, and yes, they do have the necessary class features with the correct required levels.
On other, it says the following:
This homebrew Subclass has data mapped to it that is licensed content or private homebrew. This typically occurs when licensed or private homebrew spells are linked to the Subclass.
This homebrew Subclass does not have the necessary class features with the correct required levels.
Again, this isn't true. And on the latest one, it just says:
This homebrew Subclass does not have the necessary class features with the correct required levels.
Again, not true. I've revised all of my homebrew and made sure it follow all the guidelines. It does. I don't know what to do. I initially thought that the web was just taking long to process, but 5 days have passed since last edited the first one and nothing has changed. I honestly think this is a bug, but please can someone help if this isn't the case and there is something I'm somehow overseeing? Thanks.
Here are the links in case it's useful in any way.
First and foremost: make sure that you have clicked on the Save button in the "Basic Info" block of the editor (the block at the top). The publishing checks are only run when that Save button is used.
The circle of Spores error typically means there is no description or that the description is too short.
Path of Pain is a subclass for what class? What levels does is have class features for?
What about the others with that error?
Only mods can see private homebrew, so while it is helpful that you posted it for any mods that come by to help, regular users have to ask these kinds of questions because we can't check using those links.
Apparently that fixed it for the barbarian (path of pain, as you asked) and bard sublclasses (I knew about this, but I honestly thought I had already done this several times, I'm actually shocked), but not for the druid ones. Maybe it'll just take some time, I hope. Thanks for reminding me this! I feel really stupid!
Homebrew druid subclasses require a dummy feature at level 3, since the SRD Circle of the Land has a level 3 feature for the additional spells list(s) on DDB.
This homebrew Subclass has data mapped to it that is licensed content or private homebrew. This typically occurs when licensed or private homebrew spells are linked to the Subclass.
I honestly don't know what this refers to. I don't have anything private linked to the subclass. The only thing that comes to my mind that isn't on the PHB is the Gust cantrip, but that isn't private homebrew.

fml it was Bigby's Hand, I replaced it with Arcane Hand. I knew that spell was free, but didn't know its name was changed on the basic rules. Thanks for your help, really hate to oversee this things. I'll know better the next time.

Uhhh really? I assume this doesn't apply to other official subclasses. That's really stupid haha. Many thanks!
On the circle of the skies one it still says:
