World anvil won’t let me change worlds

So, I have a handy number of world. Last time I checked, I am a guild member, so unless my subscription stopped without world anvil warning me, I’m supposed to be able to create more than 2 worlds.   I have an active campaign, Volzar, with players in it, so usually that’s where world anvil put me in by default. I decided to create another campaign, Riddlar, and as I went to the art8cle page — I was directed to Volzar’s article page. I also noticed I doesn’t have the option to switch on riddlar, only view it, same goes with Volzar.

Steps to Reproduce

I am unsure of what are the steps, but for me it seems to be :   1. Create a world 2. Go to article page 3. Get thrown in previous world’s article page

Hi AsuDoom, firstly you don't need to worry about your Guild membership - you can see that you are still a Master on your profile or in your Account page. Secondly, you might be redirected to your previous World/Campaign because you haven't activated the one you want to go to.

  • Click on the currently active World on the main header of the page (it has a globe icon on the left and a down arrow on the right) to open the World Switcher.
  • From there you can view your Worlds and Campaigns. Click the button 'Switch' on Riddlar in the Campaigns tab and it will set it as the active campaign
  •   Let me know if this resolves your issue and if not, any other details you can.

    Sadly, that is one of the other problems it seems. As I said, when I’m on Volzar, I can’t seem to use the button switch— it just isnt present on Riddlar. However, it is present when I do so from another world— for example, if I switch to another world of mine, Fantamythos, and then follow your instructions, I am able to switch on riddlar, but when I click on it, I get Volzar, and not Riddlar.

    I checked around some more, it seems I can access riddlar…from volzar’s gm screen. Considering that world anvil turns the "switch" option off for worlds on which you have already switched to too, I am starting to think they maybe…mashed up together the two worlds?? Somehow ?? Hoping this image link works, here is a link to a picture showing how f*cked it is! https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/992180847232946296/1230846393665585192/IMG_1126.jpeg?ex=6634ce08&is=66225908&hm=f9cc6f66f92d2e39bbcd6046a033837059eeffd8cb9085b3d33328eec13325c6&

    Tested out my last suspicions, it is smashing worlds together. It just… combines them??

    Yes, when I checked earlier on your account, Riddlar was a campaign created inside the world Volzar. That's why it looks like they are mashed together. A world can have more than one campaign and I assume you created the Riddlar campaign while having the Volzar world active hence the result. I now see you have created a sepate world and campaign for Riddlar so this should solve your problem, correct?
