The whole site is now running SSL. I followed this guide by digital ocean:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-let-s-encrypt-with-nginx-server-blocks-on-ubuntu-16-04
I was still getting an insecure warning in chrome but after using Chrome's inspector I found that it didnt like that all the attachments in wordpress were still using http. It gets redirected but it still didn like it.
Velvet URL Blues to the rescue:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/velvet-blues-update-urls/
I must've used it once before since it was already installed but deactivated. Had it replace http with https and fixed the errors.
Then, this forum broke! All I had to do was run the repair_settings.php (https://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Repair_settings.php)to update the URL to https. Here is a neat trick. I have the repair_settings.php file sitting in my dropbox. I SSH into my server and grab it with wget. Works like a charm every time!
