I had a new hard drive installed at the Apple Store, at which time Os X El Capitan 10.11.5 was installed. I can connect to private wifi without any issue but public wifi will not connect. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Do they show up the Wi-Fi menu bar icon?

Yes they show up. I can select them and it shows it is connected in the upper bar but it never brings up agreement pages to actually join.
is this one public wi-fi in perticular or any one you try?
are you seeing the broadcast of the wi-fi and connecting to it but unable to browse or are you seeing no broadcast?
is it a wi-fi that does not broadcast an SSID? (shows the name publicly)
is it a wi-fi that requires a seperate login once the connection is established by a network gateway and you are not brought to that page?
are you running any 3rd party utility, Anti-Virus, Network assistant or Firewall? If so remove/uninstall them.
this is an older doc but some of the concepts are still relitive

you can try turning the wi-fi off and back on
you can also clear out un-used wi-fi broadcasts the wi-fi list to try and clean clutter

So far it is all public wifi (starbucks, Panera, Lowes, etc.). It shows connected but never brings up the screen to actually agree to the terms and connect. No third party stuff installed. I tried turning WiFi off and back on with no change.
