Hi bolterbrain, this might be happening because of the browser cache not having caught up with the changes made. In this case try the following:

• Clear your browser cache and cookies
• Logout
• Login again
• If this is still happening, try another browser or in incognito mode

Beside cache it can also be that some kind of Anit-Tracking / Anti-Virus / other security software is preventing some requests of World Anvil making the right checks. Test the following to see if that may be the case:

• Try disabling all software like Norton etc. ,
• Try using the same browser in Incognito mode (normally disabled any plugins and extensions)
• Try using a different browser
• If it continues , use a mobile phone on a 4G/5G network so see if you can access the website with al your features activated.

So try these and let me know if this still persists after those steps!

Hello. So i m having a similar issue. I am a freeman memeber so i am limited but i still cant create new articles. i have 11 published articles ATM. 0 drafts. yet when i click new anything it says "article creation failed" and prompts to join a guild. I have tried clearing cache, history, cookies, new browsers, and mobile phone vs desktop. none fix this issue.

Hey Variandra, thanks for reporting! We have deployed a fix specifically for an issue affecting freemen users, so please go ahead and try again and let me know if article creation now works for you.

I just tried to create a new article now and still can not create anything. Same error as before.

EDIT: Update. so i checked on my phone and it does create a new article now but it gives and "Uh oh! Something went wrong! We couldn't save your changes, because either: your connection is down (so check your connection!) OR you used an unsupported character (an emoji or UTF-16 character). Remove that character and you're good to go!"
  once i refresh page it comes back sometimes. clicking the fix it button seems to work but it shows up every new creation. So i am able to make a new article but some errors still show.

Thanks for the details Variandra, this sounds like a recent issue that's come up because of the revamp we did to the article create proccess and we are currently working on a fix! But since this specific issue has already been reported, I will close this bug report that was relevant to a different, now resolved issue and you can follow the updates of our current fixes here by upvoting the report!

Bug is duplicate of Unknown Error on all Articles
