I’m having issues with the redirecting in my droplet. I can get onto my droplet through the IP address, but any form of my domain name doesn’t work. I’ve tried reinstalling Nginx and recreating the /etc/nginx/sites-available/default file but those don’t seem to work. Any help would be appreciated!

Hello,
What I could suggest is to create a separate Nginx server block for your domain name. You can follow the steps here on how to do that:

Also, if you are using WordPress, you might have to change your WordPress site and home URLs from your IP address to your domain name as described here:

Let me know how it goes! Regards, Bobby
