I have a Centaur Druid character that has recently reached level 2 and when I went to go pick the Circle of the Moon I noticed that it was not on the list. I tried looking it up and saw that there was a thread written about sometime around April of 2017 and the moderator said that they wouldn't include it during beta testing. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this website has been out of beta testing for a little while right? I'm not trying to be condescending, but can we please include the Circle of the moon in a timely fashion so that I can properly level my character up? Thanks!
It's there for me. The most likely scenario here is that you don't own it or have access to it because you're not in a campaign with content sharing on where someone owns it.

You can purchase the Player's Handbook to access the Circle of the Moon, or you can buy just the subclass. Alternatively you can use the homebrew system on DDB to create the subclass using your physical book as a reference.
Thank you guys for the help! The DM for the campaign I'm in bought the massive bundle of books and turned on content sharing so I thought I would have access to all of the bonus stuff, but I guess not. I finally bought it once I realized that you had to buy it so it's resolved. Thank you guys!
Where were you creating the character? Did you go to your DM's content-sharing campaign and select to create a character there, or did you go to your character builder directly?
You have to create your character through the DM's campaign to access the shared content.

If he (or anyone else with a character in the campaign with content sharing turned on) owned it, you would've had access to it for that character. Did you actually have a character in the campaign that had the content sharing turned on? Does the DM actually own that content? You don't have access to it in the character creator for any characters that aren't in the campaign.

The DM has all of the books, to my knowledge, including the player's handbook. The characters have all been made inside the content-shared campaign. The solution I came to is that for some reason DnD Beyond sells specifically the circle of the moon as a separate add-on even though it's a part of the player's handbook that we definitely have access to. It's stupid and I was rather mad about it but it only cost $2. It's still $2 that shouldn't have to be paid for something that is INCLUDED in the player's handbook though and it's a rather shady micro-transaction on DnD Beyond's part that was entirely unnecessary.
DNDBeyond isn't doing anything shady. Talk to your DM. Make sure you are doing everything right. It sounds like something else is going on. If content sharing is turned on for the campaign, anyone in the campaign has the PHB, and your character is in the campaign, then you should be able to use any content from the PHB. Are you sure that your character was in the campaign at the time you created it? You would have had to either use the join link with a character you'd already created, assume control of am unassigned character, or create a new character with the link.
It is also possible that whoever is sharing the content only purchased compendium content, which would mean the builder wouldn't have access.
Ensure that you're creating a character within their campaign.
That's how content sharing works, making a character outside the campaign won't give you access to the content. It's nothing shady on DDB's part, just how the system works.

There are users who prefer buying the specific subclass rather than the entire book. There is nothing shady here.
Could you please post the link address of your character sheet? Moderators can take a look and see what is going on.
