Error while running nginx -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf -t

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is:
https://athena.ottawakaraoke.com

I ran this command:

sudo certbot --nginx

It produced this output:

Error while running nginx -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf -t.

nginx: [emerg] unknown directive "s" in /etc/nginx/conf.d/wordpress_http.conf:2
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

The nginx plugin is not working; there may be problems with your existing configuration.
The error was: MisconfigurationError('Error while running nginx -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf -t.\n\nnginx: [emerg] unknown directive "s" in /etc/nginx/conf.d/wordpress_http.conf:2\nnginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed\n')

My web server is (include version):
````````
nginx version: nginx/1.18.0


``````````
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):

```````
ubuntu 16
```````
My hosting provider, if applicable, is:
`````
me.com
`````
I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know):
``````
yes
``````
I'm using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):

The version of my client is (e.g. output of `certbot --version` or `certbot-auto --version` if you're using Certbot):


`````
certbot-auto: command not found

`````

Looks like you have an error in your nginx configuration:

nginx: [emerg] unknown directive "s" in /etc/nginx/conf.d/wordpress_http.conf:2

Open up that file, look at line 2.

thanks

that was the problem.
