Wordpress LetsEncrypt Doc seems outdated

I've just tried to follow the doc [amazon-lightsail-using-lets-encrypt-certifica…tes-with-wordpress.md](../blob/master/doc_source/amazon-lightsail-using-lets-encrypt-certificates-with-wordpress.md), for a new bitnami wordpress (debian) instance - but at the end the Really Simple SSL Pugin failed to find the certs. On closer investigation, it seems like the locations for htaccess.conf and wp-config.php are outdated in the doc. I have not been able to figure out what paths I'd need to use for it to work - but I then checked out [the Bitnamis doc for SSL on AWS](https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/how-to/generate-install-lets-encrypt-ssl/) which not only worked, but provide a much more elegant solution - a script that helps you set SSL up alot easier than outlined in the docs here. It also seems like this script provides automatic renewal via a cronjob. Possible solutions: Either update the doc to the correct paths or link to the Bitnami docs?

We can only hope.
