I have followed the following tutorial on securing NGINX on Ubuntu 16.04.
Once I finished installing Let’s Encrypt SSL and when I try to connect to my wordpress website it shows the digital ocean “Please log into your droplet via SSH to configure your LEMP installation”. How do I remove this and get to my wordpress website? I read that deleting the index.html should work but when I delete it I then get a 403 Forbidden Access

You can type !ref in this text area to quickly search our full set of tutorials, documentation & marketplace offerings and insert the link!
To find out what errors are being logged, we can run the command below. It’ll output the last 20 lines of the NGINX error log which should give us an idea of what’s going on.
tail -20 /var/log/nginx/error.log
If you can post that output to a code block, we can troubleshoot from there.

I checked the default server configuration file and everything checks out so not to sure why its giving me that error. Ran the sudo nginx -t code and syntax is okay and test is successful. Hopefully this can get resolved.
