I was having a lot of issues with custom subraces not showing up, and logging out + logging back seems to have fixed it, BUT IT DID NOT FIX IT RIGHT AWAY, it's only 10-15 minutes or so later that I noticed that my options started appearing. Caching issues maybe? I had forced a hard browser refresh (CTRL+F5) but I think the server might be caching some stuff too. Anyways, it's progress.
This is correct. The server does cache things and it can take up to 15 minutes for the updates to catch up.
I tried logging in with a different browser (going from Chrome to Edge) and it didn't change anything. It can't be a cache thing if I have never logged in with Edge before, can it?

Actually I used a different machine that was already logged in and I still had issues. I had to deliberately sign-out of DDB and sign back in. Since it seems server/account related, using a different browser won't help. It seems that actively signing-in performs some kind of data hygiene process on your account on the server side, but wait 15 minutes after logging back in to get a true assessment of where your stuff stands.

Yes. Logging in triggers the server to re-sync it’s cache. That process can be instantaneous, but it can also take up to 15 minutes.
I'm having this issue with a tiefling subrace. I don't want to publish it (it won't let me anyway because it has non English language) but it doesn't show up as an option in my campaign.
This seems to be a maintenance problem I know the moderators are doing their best to try and give fixes but it seems that this is constantly affecting people right now. I created subraces, variants, and the like months before in December. All of a sudden in probably some recent background developing, coding or maintenance the site has done this problem has arisen and all the homebrew things that were not a problem to access and character creation with now don't show up in the character builder.
It's not the mods fault or the devs and coders fault its just a bug that's happening right now and hopefully they find the plug-ins that are causing the issue. Just to give my two cents in before someone asks Yes I have cleared caches signed out signed in and waited Tried different accounts being the dm of the campaign and being the player tried different browsers hell I even burnt a little sage and offered a sacrifice up to one of my characters lich deity
We will just have to wait until things get back on track is all. Just wish people would just say "Hey its broken right now and we are fixing it"

They did. This thread is a year old. The thread you are looking for is here:
Yea but people like myself are having this issue become a problem just recently, hence why this thread got bumped back into the limelight
I get that. But there is a new thread specifically about these current issues and the Mods have in fact responded by consolidating many other recent threads, marking it with a bug report, and posting in the thread about their awareness and what you can do to help them fix it. So click on that linked thread to find current, up-to-date information.
the title pretty much sums up my issue, i need help making the homebrew subraces reappear. I cleared my cashe and it reappeared momentarily but then again disappeared from character creation and now wont reappear not matter what i do.
Just posting to throw my hat in the ring. My homebrew subraces are not appearing for my players.
Interestingly, I can create a character myself and select my sub races just fine, my players are the only ones not able to see them.
Yes, the sub-races are in my collection, yes the "Will have subraces" checkbox is checked on the parent race, and the two subraces appear for it, and show the base race themselves when expanding them (again, I can select them fine personally). Other homebrew items and even races are appearing just fine for the players (namely those without subraces).
While the ones I mostly care about are new as of today, multiple sub races that I had created previously are now no longer showing (with no changes in many months from me) for my players, these races showed shortly after I created them just fine.
I realize this is just mirroring what others have already said in this thread, just wanted to throw my hat in the "also having this problem" ring as this seems to be one of the more popular threads.
You all could just throw your hats in the ring... or you could follow the Moderator’s instructions that they left in a post on page two of this very same thread.
hi! i'm having a similar issue - so, i've just created a race with 12 subraces (demigod, with a subrace for each olympian parent), and neither the race nor subraces will show up in character creation. I also have a homebrew satyr and centaur race, both of which show up, and homebrew content from another member of my campaign shows up. The demigod subraces showed up before and i was able to select one, then they disappeared, reappeared and disappeared again. I have 'will have subraces' selected, but the subraces are already created so i dont see why this would be the problem. all of the subraces and the main race are also added to my collection, and homebrew content is enabled. (in addition, not all the racial traits for satyrs are showing up). it basically seems up to chance when they show up and dont, most often they don't show up, and no one else in the campaign has been able to access them besides me when they do.
Hi, so in one of my campaigns a character has released a long chained minor God. As a reward he blessed him with characteristics similar to a Fire Genasi even though he is a stout halfling. To do this I've created a one off subrace of halfling in my private homebrew collection. My player is in my campaign and he has the setting for homebrew content enabled on the home screen of his character sheet, but it is not available for him to change his race in the drop down ? Any ideas ?

You have to post a link to the homebrewed race so the Mods/Devs can follow it.

Cheers for the quick response !
Ok so from the link you've given under the heading "Homebrew Race Subrace is Not Available"
Is that everything ?
I think so, only instead of posting it here you need to post it as a response to one of MellieDM’s posts in that thread so they can help you.
