Hello! The title describes the issue I'm having. I'm trying to run a campaign but all of the links for one of the characters, Bilka, just directs back to my campaign page: https://www.dndbeyond.com/campaigns/3858673.
I've tried removing the player and having them rejoin but no luck there. Also tried signing out and back in again, trying a different browser, clearing the cache and reloading, but to no avail. Hovering over the links to View/Edit the character only show the campaign link: https://www.dndbeyond.com/campaigns/3858673
@IamSposta - Sure is! I can view the sheet from a direct link, but not through my campaign. It's really weird. Character in question is here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/95780262
Oh shoot- sorry, i meant that Bilka (the character that I can't view from the campaign character page) is set to public - I had misread your question!
Ironically, the character you pointed out is set to private and I have no problem accessing from the link. The issue is that the view and edit links for Bilka are pointing to the campaign page rather than the character page - I'm trying to post a screenshot and will edit with it.
The image here shows the issue - this is what the link directs to. Screenshot taken while hovering over "View" for Bilka.
I'm also having this exact problem- when i click the link to view or edit one particular character in the campaign page it just goes to the top of the campaign page.
I've only been able to get into the character using an old link I happened to have. The background of the character is blacked out.
I don't want to ask the player to go through the trouble of changing their username, so I bookmarked their character url. It's annoying.
The fix is simple – either url-encode the username to generate the url, or please stop using the username to generate the url and instead use the user id.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Is the player’s character set to “private?”

It can’t be set to “private” or I wouldn’t be able to see it, however a different character is showing as not viewable:

this is also the problem I am having. ive tried everything but nothing is working
I'm having a similar issue but another player is able to view the new players character sheet, I however (DM) can no and I keep getting campaign page.
@FaerunFunsies: I wonder if the issue with Bilka is the . In the user name?
@others with this issue: does the user name of the problem characters (or the campaign) have any non alpha-numeric characters in it?

My player copied his character page and I was able to open it. Seems there is an issue with the links from the campaign page?
My player does, but he can not find a way to change his username. Would you know how to do that?

Got this exact problem with a player who has a "#" in their username, e.g. "user #1234" (presumably auto-generated from using their Discord account).
Seems like the front-end code tries to create the character link using the username in the url, e.g. https://www.dndbeyond.com/profile/username/characters/character_id, but is unable to do so with exceptional usernames.
I was able to access their character by copying the link from "Deactivate" (https://www.dndbeyond.com/campaigns/campaign_id/deactivate-character/character_id) and using the character id there to fill in the character url, https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/character_id.
I don't want to ask the player to go through the trouble of changing their username, so I bookmarked their character url. It's annoying.
The fix is simple – either url-encode the username to generate the url, or please stop using the username to generate the url and instead use the user id.
