Admired version 1.2.1. No pending updates anywhere.
Why would the theme make the forum subscription button visible to admins and not to other users?

No sorry you have misunderstood. I was asking specifically about which Simple:Press theme you are using. For the forum display. This was I can check back and trace the code to see if anything else might be responsible.
I did, in the meantime, consider one thing to try however. Could you go to the forum admin > Toolbox > Housekeeping and click on the task to 'clear the auths cache'. Might be worth a try to see if that resolves it...

My apologies. My Simple Press theme is: Default 1.2.7.
I went into the housekeeping section of the tool box and I have the option to "Reset Auths Cache". I have clicked this and it does not appear to have resolved the issue.

so this is the code that determines if the icon is shown (sorry if you dont understand php code):
if ($subs['forumsubs'] && $spThisUser->member) {
if (sp_get_auth('subscribe', $spThisForum->forum_id) && ((!$spThisForum->forum_status && !$spGlobals['lockdown']) || $spThisUser->admin)) {the only option we have not looked there is the check for the forum locked down... can you verify that is not set? the option is on forum - options - global settings...
if that is not set, please try this... go to forum - components - subscriptions and uncheck the allow forum subscriptions option and save... then turn it back on and save again...
if neither of those help, the next step would be for us to add some debugging code and see exactly what is going on since this is a unique report not being experience by other users...

I do greatly appreciate all of your help. I have discovered and corrected the issue.
The issue I was experiencing is that my main "Forum" was locked to prevent people from posting in it directly and requiring them to post in "sub-forums".
I completely glossed over this as a possibility until your comment about the entire forum possibly being locked globally.
I have changed my permissions for the parent forum to disallow posts and that will work fine.
Going forward would it be possible to allow subscriptions to specific "sub forums"?
Thank you again for your assistance.

That is... subscribe to specific sub forums via a heart button or the ability to subscribe to ALL sub forums by clicking the one heart button.
I am aware that you can subscribe to specific sub forums through the subscriptions tab of your profile.

Not really sure what you asking for and how that differs to what is available now. Can you expand on this?

Gayle wants a subscribe to forum link/icon (the heart) on the group view page for subforums... I believe...
Or even on forum view... looks like the icon is not show on forum view for the subforums either... its probably using a different hook for the subforum status icons...
So the first one, I dont see us adding that as the real estate is really limited for displaying on group view...
but the second should be done and will open a ticket to get that working...

That is correct Mr Papa. Thank you for your response.

the second has been fixed and will be available in the next release of the subscriptions plugin... will be in conjunction with WP 4.0 and sp 5.5.1...
