Changing the default port of nginx

i recently installed nginx on raspberry in order to host a wordpress site.Everything is going fine so far and i can see my wordpress site,but i have stumbled upon a major issue.I need to change the default port which is 80 to something else,since my dlink nas currently uses this port.

Tried editing /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
specifically the line which says
listen to 80 to listen to 100 inside the server block.
I save the file restart,but nothing happens i can no longer even log into the wordpress site.If i change it back to 80 i can log into the page via my browser just fine once again.

Anyway this is the current code of the default file.Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

The code below only works when i set the port back to 80,any other port fails,including the 100 port you see here.Everything i tried is on the local network.
