Hello,
I have been following through a few different articles, but am now getting an error.
"listen" directive not allowed here...
listen [::]:443 ssl; # managed by certbot
After I set up certbot it was fine, so I’m not sure what else I have done to affect it.
The only change I have made to the file is adding WordPress bits as below.
location = /favicon.ico { log_not_found off; access_log off; }
location = /robots.txt { log_not_found off; access_log off; allow all; }
location ~* \.(css|gif|ico|jpeg|jpg|js|png)$ {
expires max;
log_not_found off;
And…
location / {
#try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
Any help is much appreciated.

Hi there,
Can you run the following command to test your Nginx config syntax:
sudo nginx -t
And then share the output here.
Also, can you share your whole Nginx server block here as well?
Regards, Bobby
Thanks @bobbyiliev for your assistance.
