Thanks. Are you using any membership plugins like Ultimate Member?
No, no membership plugins
Okay, since you are not using any membership plugins are you sure you removed the plugins correctly? Many of them change the login and signup features to force the site admin to direct their users to a page that has signup and login forms. Therefore, if you did not remove them from the setup by deactivating and then deleting them the default functions may be broken or work incorrectly.
How might I replace the broken files? and which ones?
I tried updating WordPress , but same issue? seems I may need to ftp and replace specific files but not sure which ones
I do not think the files are broken. I am suggesting that plugins were uninstalled incorrectly or not uninstalled at all.
For now, please add define( 'WP_DEBUG', true ); to your wp-config.php then try to load these two pages and see if an error log is created in any of your wp related directories. Once you get the error log please use PasteBin to share the error log with me here.
Please see my edited post as I accidentally put the code in there wrong at first.
where do I find the logs?
they could be anywhere within your wp related directories. Usually they are in the sites wp root or wp-content but they can be in any of the subdirectories under wp-content as well!
I refreshed the 2 pages and found only 2 error logs but back from 7/30 and 7/19
