Hi I just installed a droplet for the first time. When trying to enter my wordpress site i get the nginx welcome message on the screen. Looks like this:
Welcome to nginx!
If you see this page, the nginx web server is successfully installed and working. Further configuration is required.
For online documentation and support please refer to nginx.org. Commercial support is available at nginx.com.
Thank you for using nginx.
What have i missed?
Thanks!

Where are your Wordpress-files located?
The default nginx htdocs-root is /usr/share/nginx/html
If you’ve installed the files at, say, /usr/share/nginx/html/wordpress, then you must change the root-setting in the file /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf to that directory, like this
server { root /usr/share/nginx/html/wordpress; }
Plese read the https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-nginx-mysql-php-lemp-stack-on-centos-7 article on how to set up nginx to work with the PHP-engine over socket (CentOS) if you have not already done so.
