SSL Wordpress site on virtualmin Curl Error 28

SYSTEM INFORMATION
OS type and version Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
Virtualmin version 6.2.2

I have recently created a virtualserver on Virtualmin and used LetsEncrypt to create a certificate for my wordpress site. Now the website is on https. When checking the site health I have the following error:

Error: [] cURL error 28: Connection timed out after 10001 milliseconds

The loopback request to your site failed, this means features relying on them are not currently working as expected.
Error encountered: (0) cURL error 28: Connection timed out after 10000 milliseconds

This results in toolset not working correctly. I have disabled all the plugins and changed to the default theme but the issue persists.

I am suspecting it is something to do with my htaccess file. Can you kindly verify?

Your Virtualmin version is WAY out of date. The current version is 7.1-1.
