This got reported by one of my players so I had a look into it and it seems like the 2024 classes (Wizard and Fighter) do not offer the Wildemount subclasses
If I pick the 2014 version of the class on the exact same character it offers those subclasses - Echo Knight fighter, Chronurgy and Graviturgy wizard
As its the same character sheet and I'm not changing any other settings its not the settings - I have all the categories switched on and am not changing those
The Critical Role subheading and contents simply do not appear on the selection dropdown when I am selecting for a 2024 class but do when I am selecting for the 2014 version of that class.

The third party subclasses have not yet been updated to work with the 2024 versions of those classes. They've said they're working on it, but this requires input from the third party owners of that content and we don't have any official timetable for when or if it's going to be done. You can mostly get around it using the homebrew system.
There is nothing remotely incompatible with these subclasses.
Echo Knight just works as-is rules wise
The wizard subclasses just need shifting their level 2 features to level 3
That all seems like stuff that could simply be done in Beyond because no rules revisions are needed. Oh well.
I never said there was.
My understanding is that the issue is less a technical one and more a legal one. D&D Beyond doesn't have the legal rights to published modified versions of this content without the consent of its owners. However simple the changes might be, it's not something they're legally allowed to do.
So that seems odd. Of course I don't know who wrote what into the contracts but this is not ostensibly the same as the stuff published as 3rd party then placed on Beyond - this was always a WotC and D&D publication.
It also does not show up as an option in the homebrew system so you would be re-inputting it all by hand. Which is honestly a bit of a grind for my player.
You can only use something as a template in the homebrew system if you own it, not if it's shared with you. So whoever in your campaign owns it is the one who should try making a copy for the 2024 edition (caveat: there might be other issues with that, I haven't tried to convert anything to 2024 rules).

All I can tell you is what they've told us. The details of all the license agreements haven't been made public.

But this one was directly published by WotC
