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: starcover.co.uk

I ran this command:certbot certonly --standalone

entered correctly and the DNS A/AAAA record(s) for that domain
contain(s) the right IP address.

Hi @Kirstyelton

there is a running website. Why do you use --standalone?

Where do you run that client? Same ip 95.142.152.202?

There runs an Apache - starcover.co.uk - Make your website better - DNS, redirects, mixed content, certificates

But WordPress may block /.well-known/acme-challenge

  • Is there a Google-integrated solution you can use?
  • Is it possible to use a WordPress-Plugin?

Looks like Certbot is the wrong way or too difficult, if other solutions are possible.
