    In Centmin Mod 123.09beta01 and newer, for wordpress install + HTTPS with SSL certificate, you actually need to
    1. Make sure intended site domain name/subdomain DNS A records point to the Centmin Mod server. For main domain.com need also www version of the domain having updated and valid DNS A records first
    2. Enable and set in persistent config file at /etc/centminmod/custom_config.inc the following variable LETSENCRYPT_DETECT='y' (create /etc/centminmod/custom_config.inc if it doesn't exist).
    3. Then run centmin.sh menu option 22 which will detect letsencrypt support and display the additional letsencrypt prompts required to issue free letsencrypt ssl certificates for wordpress auto installer. You'd want to select the option for live cert with HTTPS default (trusted) and proceed to install wordpress via the installer's question prompts.
    FYI, for non-wordpress sites you can just use same first 2 steps above but run centmin.sh menu option 2 or nv command as outlined in method 2 or 3 here.

    Managed to fix this. On the server's firewall I had to enable http traffic (was previously set to only https)

    Thanks!
