Okay so the site was redirecting www to be non-www. But since there are quite a few backlinks that where www. Need to change the WordPress site so that it is www. Currently it is non-www. The issue was when changing the site config file for Ngnix.
server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost 999.999.99.99 www.domain.com domain.com;
root /var/www/domain.com/web;
if ($http_host != "www.domain.com") {
rewrite ^ http://www.domain.com$request_uri permanent;
}
Then restart Ngnix, that part works fine. But when updating the site URL and home URL to be both www in the WordPress options db table. I can not log into the dashboard site.
I know I will need to run a site update so that all links are www from non-www. https://wordpress.org/plugins/velvet-blues-update-urls/
Any help would be appreciated.

Simplest solution is to create two “servers” one for non-www and one for www. In the non-www enter this config:
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
return 301 http://www.example.com$request_uri;
and on the www just your original config, but server_name with only www.example.com.
Just for info: return 301 [url] means that you permanently redirect client to the url.
