I've been having trouble adding this particular homebrew race to my character (both linked below). I've read through a couple other threads with the same issue to see what could be wrong. I have homebrew enabled for her, I have taken the race out of my collection and added it back multiple times, and I've even waited a few days to see if it will show up. I thought it might just be a general bug but I tested to see if another homebrew race would show in the race options and it showed up immediately after adding. Both races are from Browse Homebrew and not my own if that helps.
That race may have been incorrectly coded. If the creator checked the “has subraces” box, then only subraces for it will show up and not the main race. If they did not attach any subraces, that would be the problem.
So I spent forever creating this homebrew race (and its two subraces) but when I went to test it by creating a character, only the subraces showed up. They aren't variants, so that isn't the problem. I did not publish any of them, so that might be it. Can anyone help me?
so I’m having the same problem whenever I go to create my home species and click create species. It doesn’t show up anywhere and I’ve had to re-create it like seven times but it never shows up. Does anyone have any tips for me

Character: https://www.dndbeyond.com/profile/ashamedaries/characters/38091628 (race is set to human for the moment to be able to view)
Edit: the race I am trying to add appears in My Homebrew Collection but not in the race selector for the character

You were right, I literally just found a modification they made of the race and that one works. Thanks for the help! :)

I am having a similar problem but subraces are turned off, I have been trying to find out why it will not work but to no avail.

If a race has subraces, only the subraces will show up, as you can on,y choose the subraces, and DDB doesn’t support homebrew race groups.
