I should note that I have an updated Fedora 27 and WordPress procedure here:

Nice job on guide. I do have a question about the theme and plugin install. Shouldn’t you using sudo -u apache wp to install themes and plugins?

Thanks.

No, it installs them just fine. I verified the files are owned by apache:apache in the directory.
If you get a warning about not using sudo -u apache, then you can. It doesn't matter.

This is on my to-do list today. Need a clean install to compare a site that the theme has been modified and I can't see what file they've edited

Create a new secure SSH key:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "root-webserv1-key"

Hit enter for default location and name.
Hit enter again to skip passphrase creation.
Now you should SSH to server to continue.

Does this step disable normal logins or change anything at all? After my first restart my root password isn't working.

I noticed this when I was using Putty. I had to delete the saved session so it could import the new key that was generated.

Delete the session in putty? How did you do that?

I had saved the session details. I selected and deleted it then opened a new SSH session.

This only generates a new certificate and does not do anything else. If your root password is not working, maybe you are typing it in incorrectly, or it's something else entirely, as what @NashBrydges is referring to. If you are using Putty, perhaps it's caching the old public key.
