Revoking doesn't change something, because the certificate www.mieco.it isn't used.
That’s fine. I wish to revoke it
Can someone tell me this, please: what is that procedure to revoke a certificate? I wish to revoke a certificate, even if it’s not used or not connected, I wish to revoke it. How can I revoke the certificate for www.mieco.it?
This won’t do anything useful. The certificate will still exist, and can still be in use even after revocation. All that revocation does is, if a browser checks the revocation status (most do not anymore) then it will present a different error message, but your server will still have this certificate in place.
As for how to revoke a certificate, there’s no easy way if you’re using built-in tools to issue them, unless those tools also contain a method to revoke. Here’s the page documenting revocation, but there are several other clients available that may be easier for you to use than Certbot, each of which will have their own steps to perform this task.
Again, I think you’re wasting your time with attempting to revoke this certificate, and that it will not in any way help you accomplish your goals. Revocation does not remove the certificate from anything on your hosting provider, all it does is change what Let’s Encrypt will respond with if someone were to check the revocation status of the certificate.

Thank you for your full response @jared.m. The Hosting Provider just replied to me saying that it isn’t them, they said that I left my wordpress configuration under “HTTPS” and the server configuration through cpanel under “HTTP” and this created a conflict so I can’t access wordpress because it is requiring my server to be HTTPS and it isn’t. In order to fix this they say I need to intervene in Wordpress files under FTP and change it back to HTTP configuration. Do you know what changes I need to make, I suppose to wp-config or other files, in order to disable SSL configuration for now in order to gain access?
You can fix that direct. Go to https://www.mieco.it/ and accept the wrong certificate (works with FireFox). Then you can login in your corrupted WordPress - Installation and you should be able to use the menu there.
I tried this with both FireFox and Chrome, unfortunately it doesn’t work…it says “too many redirects”.
What about the FTP option and changing someting at wp-config?
By the way, in both cases I cleared browers of cookies after trying and failing and it still didn’t work.
Yep, you have a loop https://www.mieco.it/wp-admin/ -> https://www.mieco.it/wp-admin/
I don’t use WordPress, so I don’t know which file you have to change.
Ok, thanks again, @JuergenAuer, for your kind assistance. So, you say they are right: it is wordpress configuration doing the trick?
I solved the issue. Thanks to everyone.

Yep. The certificate is wrong, but the redirect is removed.
So you are able to use the wordpress backend with the - wrong - certificate.
I'm sorry for all the troubles you had trying to enable https on your website.
I would strongly advice to use https on your website, especially if you ask for personal data.
Any good hostings with safe servers?
