Hi was wondering where the second 1st level spell slot clerics are supposed to get went. I was making and order cleric and when i went to pick my spells i noticed that im only being allowed to pick one 1st level spell. But when i check the player's handbook it says i get 2. Is that correct? Did i do something wrong? Or is it a glitch?

So, two things. First, I think what's happening here is that you're using the 2014 version of the Cleric class, where the number of spells you can prepare is equal to your Cleric level plus your Wisdom modifier, but you haven't actually set your ability scores yet, so it's treating your Wisdom modifier as 0. Go and set your ability scores first and then go back and pick your spells.
Second, I think you're getting two terms confused. "Spell slots" refers to how many times you can cast leveled spells per day. Clerics have two level 1 spell slots to start with and gain more as they gain levels. What you're doing there in the character builder is picking the spells you have prepared, i.e. the list of spells you have access to for the day. That's a different number, as I described above.
