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. crt.sh | 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: recropopulus.co.uk
I ran this command: letsencrypt certonly --webroot -w /home/recro_live/code/wordpress -d recropopulus.co.uk --email devops@careerleaf.com --agree-tos --text -vvvvvv
It produced this output:
