Hello, @sarjun36
Could you please confirm if you’ve also followed and completed the tutorials mentioned in the Prerequisites section of the article as well? Are you using a domain name or you’re using your IP address to access the WordPress installation?
You can check if Nginx is running with the following command:
systemctl status nginx
Make sure to check if you have port 80 open as well. If you want to allow both HTTP and HTTPS traffic, you can create a single rule that allows both ports. To allow all incoming HTTP and HTTPS (port 443) connections run this command:
sudo ufw allow proto tcp from any to any port 80,443
```
Let me know how it goes.
Regards,
Alex
