Staff of Frost spells hotlink to legacy 2014 content, not modern 2024/5.5e descriptions. Idk if the spells simply haven't changed, but it's weird to have "foggy cloud [legacy] (1 charge)" be in the item description for an item in the 5.5e DMG
Edit: I just double checked the item, it doesn't SAY legacy anymore, but still links to the legacy spells.
Are you sure you added the correct version of the staff? The 5.5e staff has 5.5e spells, while the 5e staff has 5e spells.
Dragon Slayer Greatsword, Longsword, Rapier, Scimitar, Shortsword still point to legacy versions of the items.
This isn't so much a bug as just D&D Beyond deciding not to create duplicate 5.5e versions of 5e magic items that didn't have any changes in the new rules.
The only change with the Dragon Slayer in 5.5e is which weapons it applies to — the old one could only be swords, while the new one can be any weapon at all. They added 5.5e versions for the newly available non-sword weapons, but just kept the existing 5e versions of the sword weapons because their behavior is identical in 5.5e.
Now, I would say that means the 5e ones shouldn't be marked "Legacy", but they don't seem interested in changing that.
The Wand of Orcus doesn't appear as a weapon in the "actions" section of the sheet. It's just... not there. I don't remember the 2014 version having this problem.

It looks like the 5.5e Wand of Orcus is classified as a Wand in D&D Beyond, which is why it's not showing up with a weapon action. The 5e one is classified as a Weapon.
Both versions of the DMG have its category listed as Wand, so the 5.5e one is technically correct in D&D Beyond. But since DDB needs it to be a Weapon for it to actually work properly, they should probably both be Weapons in DDB.
Hoping the change will be made, then... thank you for your answer.
In the meantime, you can add a custom action to the character sheet to represent it (or just add a generic Mace, +3 to your inventory). It won't capture the extra Necrotic damage, but D&D Beyond's character sheet doesn't support damage rolls with multiple die types anyway.
The Flame Tongue Longsword is not available. Says it's part of the Dungeon Master digital content pack. I own the DM Guide and can access all other variants.

Unfortunately it is still unavailable and now says it is part of an archived playtest pack.

It says that for me too, and I wasn't even having the problem before.

It's still possible to access the old version, though, at least for me: https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items/4895-flame-tongue-longsword

When I hovered the mouse over the link. Clicking the link gave page unavailable or something like that.
Today it is working, thanks.
The tooltip for the longsword version, as displayed in the long list of versions of it on the page for the "general" version of the item (here).
It is also now working correctly for me.
