CiviCRM 4.7.2, Joomla 3.4.8, MySql 5.5.45, PHP 5.5.30
I'm seeing a similar issue as seen in this thread: Auto-renew option not appearing for membership
The auto-renew function was working fine, as far as I can tell, up to v4.6.8, but after the upgrade to 4.7.1/4.7.2/4.7.3/4.7.4 it is not appearing on either the initial membership page, nor the membership renewal page. All appropriate auto-renew options on the membership type, and elsewhere are correctly set.
UPDATE 2016-03-26 - turns out that if you have your membership prices set to auto-renew, and the Pay Later option configured, the Auto Renew options does NOT appear on the membership signup/renewal page.
This is NOT using a price set for the membership prices.
I've created an issue on this: https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-18299
