I’m hoping someone can advisee.
I am attempting to renew the letsencrypt certificates on my droplet. The droplet is running Ubuntu 14.04 and the Wordpress application (from the droplet templates).
I have updated the letsencrypt client to the latest version.
When I run the ./letsencrypt-auto certonly -a webroot --webroot-path=/usr/share/nginx/html -d bizzi-body.com command
I get the message…
Failed authorization procedure. bizzi-body.com (http-01): urn:acme:error:unauthorized :: The client lacks sufficient authorization :: Invalid response from http://bizzi-body.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/JPohzID6xfYLBs25Riju1AUnECWWOFmvSR71b2KfoT8 [46.101.210.75]: 404...
If I attempt that same url in a browser I get a 404 message from Wordpress.
I am wondering if the issue is simply wordpress getting in the way. Of if there is a routing issue.
Any advice much appreciated.

This question was answered by @nwlinux:
I just went through this problem this weekend. Notice that the renewal URL is HTTP, versus HTTPS. Letsencrypt has updated their package; it is renamed and updated to “certbot”. The short and skinny of it is that you have to clone the new certot git repo, configure for port 80, and then upgrade the cert.
