If I understand, you have a profile that isn't displaying a tester that you'd expect to see under 'DNA Connections'? Which profile?

Hi Vicki

If there's a problem with that profile, I'm not seeing it. Can you explain further?
When I open up my Wikitree to view my tree that I've created, his parents show a yellow icon and a check mark. He does not.

Oh I see. It's because in the profile of James Waller (1788 - 1851), if you go to 'Edit' mode, you'll see that his father John Waller is not indicated with 'father is Confirmed by DNA'.

I wouldn't recommend you change this without a proper DNA confirmation and citation that Wikitree requires. It's a somewhat complicated topic, you can learn more here: 

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:DNA_Confirmation

Indeed, I see you have a number of parental relationships in your tree that are marked Confirmed with DNA that are missing citations that I would recommend you revisit and perhaps choose a different level for the parental relationship (in each case on the child's edit page).

Thankyou so much.
