Wildcard request: Client with the currently selected authenticator does not support any combination of challenges that will satisfy the CA

The method by which your server proves control to the CA that it controls power-forums.com. Previously Certbot used a different method, TLS-SNI-01, which was later disabled, so now you are left with either HTTP-01 or DNS-01.

As written in the post, update your Certbot to a newer version, and it should automatically deal with renewal.

That's not going to work, because wildcards are only available by DNS-01 (which requires automatically or manually adding TXT records to your domain's DNS).

Are you sure you need a wildcard? Based on your previous certificates, it wouldn't seem that way.

If you only need [power-forums.com www.power-forums.com], perhaps you can try:

certbot certonly --preferred-challenges http -d www.power-forums.com -d power-forums.com -w /var/www/acme/
