Can't add monsters or anything from the compendium to my journal/game.

As the title says, and yes, I have looked through the forums before posting, and so far, no one has mentioned the particular issue I am having or the steps taken to fix hasn't worked for me.
A bit more info, whenever I click into the compendium, I get this message at the bottom.

"This game has some compendiums blocked. to make changes go to game settings."

I have enabled content sharing, I have enable and disabled all. Tried each one individually. The only one that worked for me was if I had Lost Mines of Phandelver selected only, however, only about 5 monsters/enemies showed up for me to use.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi TDK!

When you are saving your sharing sources, are you click the save button for that section? IIRC, that page has three different save buttons, one for each section, and they don't work universally, but only for their specific section.

If it's the save option directly below the resources, then yes I am.

I am able to see them in the compendium, however, can't drag/drop and still have the "...compendiums blocked" message.

It's hard to tell without getting hands on. I'd suggest a Help Center Request. A dev should be able to suss out the problem.

Hi TDK, 

It sounds like you are concerned about the "compendiums blocked" message. Is there a problem with the compendium other than that message? 

The message is completely normal and expected. It is basically to say you have a book turned off. That is all.

You should have normal functioning of the Compendium with the "compendiums blocked" message active.
If you don't please provide a screenshot of what you are trying to do when it is not working correctly.

I can't really send a screen shot as it'll just be a blank page with the compendium open. I thought that message may have been the reason as to why I cannot drag and drop from the compendium to add to my game/journal.

The only time I am able to drag/drop is when I solely have Lost Mines of Phandelver as the only book selected, then I am able to drag and drop, though it is extensively limited. If I turn on another source, say for example, the Free Basic Rules (2014) OR the Monster Manual, I am able to see it in the compedium, however, am not able to drag/drop or use it in anyway.
