I tried to run ./certbot-auto renew --dry-run after ./certbot-auto certonly --webroot -w /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs -d periwinkkle.com -d www.periwinkkle.com

It is show error like-

Hi @gravity-bpo001

what's the complete output of this command?

Add -vvv so we have more debug informations.

And share

/var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log

It would seem that

is not the actual webroot for those names:
periwinkkle.com
www.periwinkkle.com

Or maybe that cerbot-auto is unable to place the challenge file in that folder/path:
/opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/.well-known/acme-challenge/{TOKEN-FILE}

You can test/verify the second "guess" with:

mkdir /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/.well-known
mkdir /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/.well-known/acme-challenge
echo "testing" > /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/.well-known/acme-challenge/1234

Which should create a file that can be accessed via both URLs:
http://periwinkkle.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/1234
http://www.periwinkkle.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/1234

I'd like to see this file..

You need to be root user [or some other elevated privileged user].
