In today's video, I decided to try out the billion dollar morning routine for three days. I did some research and found this website which claims to incorporate the morning habits of some of the world's most successful people. Apparently, the one billion dollar morning routine is said to redirect your mindset and health each morning for you to spend the rest of the day at your full potential. Ultimately, creating healthy habits is one of the most influential steps in a billionaire's success and can significantly change your performance throughout the day. In this video, I put this morning routine to the test. Stay tuned if you want to find out how it went for me. Good morning, you guys. So the first thing that we're doing this morning is we're going to recall our dreams. While a typical person would begin their day by staring at their screens for the first few hours, they are awake. The first thing that a typical billionaire does when they wake up is recall their dreams. The importance of knowing your subconscious by recalling your dreams is substantial information to understanding yourself and your own visions. I actually really like that idea because I never sit down and think about my dreams really when I wake up. It's honestly something that I kind of just forget once I wake up and I don't ever think about again unless I had like a crazy dream and I wake up and I'm like, well, what was that? But like on a day-to-day basis, that's not something that I really do or think about. One similarity though I have is that I do not go on my phone in the morning regardless. So I already don't do that. I have my journal here and we're just going to write down I guess what I dreamt about. I literally cannot remember what I dreamt about last night but I definitely feel like this is a powerful tool because we don't really use our subconscious mind that often consciously if that makes sense. So this is probably a good practice to kind of help access that subconscious mind. Okay so the next thing that it says to do is make your bed. You might be wondering what is so special about this step that everybody does for billionaires to feel the need to gay keep it. Well making your bed once you get out of it is important to do right away and it is indeed a successful habit because it sets your positive momentum up for the rest of the day. Making your bed is one of the first few things that you do in the morning that can significantly contribute to your mindset and allow for a more productive one. So I honestly don't make my bed until kind of like after my morning routine. I just not really something that I do like right away when I wake up. So this is a little bit different for me. I used to do it right when I woke up but since me and Joel kind of just get out of the bed at different times sometimes before him sometimes it's the opposite I just kind of make it whenever. So it's not something that I like strategically do with first thing when I wake up. So this is a little bit different but I can see how it can kind of set your day up for success because you're like accomplishing a task right away you know what I mean. So it's like productive and that can be like a snowball effect for the rest of your day. So anyways I guess let's make the bed. Okay so we're in the kitchen now because the next step is to drink water. It is a fact that everyone wakes up dehydrated because you lose many hours of consuming water in the night while sleeping. It is paramount to hydrate yourself early in the morning. The cup is not right next to you on your bed table.  I personally cannot drink water in the morning unless I brush my teeth. Like it's just a thing where like first thing when I wake up I need to brush my teeth because it's not something I would do right away anyways but I've already brushed my teeth and everything so it's fine but I would not just roll out of bed and drink water because to me I find that a little bit disgusting. But regardless we're going to drink water now so I'm just going to fill out my water bottle and have a few sips. I mean I'm really really thirsty right now so I normally drink water around this time anyways um but let's fill up this bottle. The next thing on our list is to breathe. In this step the key is to focus on your breathing and use any technique that you find comfortable for you. Some techniques include box breathing, alpha breathing, and Wim Hof's method. Giving yourself time to meditate properly is important so that you are able to have a clear and release any remaining troubles from the previous day. So I used to meditate in the morning but once I started waking up at five I haven't been meditating in the morning because I know that if I do I'm just gonna fall asleep. I feel awake today like I'm not very tired so I feel like it's fine. I'm gonna do a little bit of a meditation but be conscious about my breathing and yeah I'm only gonna do it for 10 minutes. It doesn't say how long so I'm gonna assume it's like a shorter session. So I actually did a little better with the meditation than I thought. I didn't fall asleep. I was like kind of starting to yodder a little bit but other than that I didn't fall asleep. I was conscious through it all so that's quite impressive for me. Okay I just got dressed in my workout set because the next thing to do is to make a move which basically means to exercise. Although this step may seem daunting it can become much simpler than working out.  This process can take as little time as one or two minutes in your morning routine. This is basically saying you don't need to go out and actually work out if you don't want to. You can just like kind of do a little bit of jumping jacks or stretch yoga I'm assuming and just kind of get your body moving so that you can kind of kickstart your day. I am gonna go to the gym just because I feel best doing that but it's basically saying that yeah it could be just two minutes if you don't really want to go and do this whole exercise at the gym thing and yeah okay let's go. Okay guys I just got back from the gym. The next thing that's on the list is cold shower which I am not ready for like this is gonna so torturous. Cold showers are a great way to wake yourself up if you're feeling a little tired from the previous steps in this routine. A cool shower includes benefits such as resetting your nervous system and reducing inflammation. There's another benefit that these showers have a positive effect on people who suffer from depression because the cool temperature sends more electrical impulses to the brain which can help alleviate depression. That is very interesting and there's a lot of good benefits about it like it can be a immune system and all that but never heard of that one before but anyways I'm like so dreading this like I just don't want to shower. I want to take a nice hot steamy shower like usual. I'm like so dreading this is gonna be awful. I'm already freezing just thinking about it. I've actually tried to do this before and was just really unsuccessful so please wish me luck. It probably doesn't sound bad when I say oh taking a cold shower but like I dare you to try it.  Okay so what next up on the list is journal. An interesting fact is that the hobby of journaling has become increasingly more popular. I have seen many social media posts of aesthetically pleasing pages under the journaling and have adopted this habit myself. Simply write out your thoughts and communicate in your journal with yourself. Journaling is actually something that I already do but I do it like first thing when I wake up. It's just like different timing but same thing. So I'm gonna do some gratitude journaling in my five minute journal and then I'm also just gonna do some regular journaling in my book. Okay so the next thing up on the list is to make it to-do list. It's important to set goals for each day. These goals do not have to be anything ambitious or big. It is all up to you. They can simply be three goals about getting work done or about running certain errands. Setting attainable goals each day allows you to feel proud and accomplished of yourself. Okay so I'm just gonna make a to-do list on my laptop in Notion. That's just like the platform that I use to plan everything out. Okay so I just wrote down all that I have to do today. It's actually really helpful to have a to-do list every day because it kind of keeps you on track. I have this template in Notion and it kind of gives you like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, like all the days of the week and like a schedule here in a calendar so that you can write out your to-do list for every day and it really helps me stay productive and yeah I really like it. Okay so the next thing on the agenda today is to make it to-do list. Similar to the to-do list step, the step requires you to write down certain feelings you want to feel throughout the day. You can design it to feel grateful or to feel excited and even motivated. Having it to feel this will help prompt your mindset as well in the right direction. I've never actually done this before but I feel like this is such a good idea because it's kind of like setting an intention for the day. So if you get lost throughout your day you can just kind of be like okay I made the intention to feel happy today so that can kind of motivate you to switch things around or whatever but yeah I'm excited to do this because I've never done this before so. Okay so for my to-feel list I wrote I wanted to feel happy today, present and productive. Yeah I love how that's setting the mood for the day. Okay so the last thing on this list for the morning routine is to read. As a final step of the one billion dollar morning routine, taking time to read will train your brain on analyzing and allow for full function for the rest of the day. This step not only brings more knowledge but also improves brain connectivity and reduce stress. I usually kind of read more towards the end of the day now but I only really like reading self-help books in the morning just because I feel like they really motivate me. I really want to buy the book Atomic Habits and start reading that but in the meantime I'm just rereading asking if it is given. This is like all about manifestation and everything and I love this book and it really does motivate me every time I read it so I feel like getting that motivation in your brain first thing in the morning is really good. Yeah I'm just gonna do a bit of reading. I just came back to my bed because when I read I like kind of being in a room just because if I'm out in like the living room I tend to get really distracted. Good morning you guys. So you know the drill. I'm waking up and recalling my dreams but I think that this is one of the things in this billion dollar morning routine that I'm going to continue to integrate just because I genuinely think that it's good to like write down your dreams and kind of try to remember them because like it said it kind of accesses your subconscious brain which is probably good for you. So this is something that I'm going to actually continue to do once I stop this video. So yeah I just feel like this is really cool. Like you don't have to write it down but even if you just kind of wake up sit in bed and think about your dreams I just kind of opened a new journal today so I can make this my dream journal. It would kind of be cool to like look back at your dreams because I've had some crazy dreams but I always forget what they were and also I feel like dreams mean something. It's kind of cool like the psychology behind dreams. Sometimes I feel like they're actually real and we're actually living in that life for a bit while we sleep which is crazy. Like that could be a reality like who really knows but I heard this fact that we actually dream every night whether we remember it or not. I don't know if that's true but that would be cool. Okay let's write down our dream last night because I remember it. It was so weird. Okay it is time to drink some water wake myself up feeling a little extra tired today but I definitely feel like I might fall asleep during this meditation next because today I woke up and I was in such a deep sleep like sometimes I'll wake up a bit before my alarm and then when my alarm goes off it's like not as bad but today I was in like a deep sleep so then when my alarm went off I'm like there's no way. I love when you drink water in the morning and it's cold and you can kind of like feel like going down your system. Okay time for meditation time gonna play the same apple music meditation. Okay let's do this but let's hope that we don't fall asleep. Okay you guys so I know that this doesn't specifically say to take this in the million dollar morning routine but this is just something that I can't go without every single morning ever since I started to take it so we're still doing this every morning but every morning I've been taking seeds DS1 daily symbiotic and I would love to thank them for sponsoring this video so what this is is it's actually a 2-in-1 prebiotic and probiotic and I love taking it every morning because it supports my gut skin and my heart health so the thing that I love most about seed is that they have so much science and research to back them up so their daily symbiotic is actually formulated with 24 clinically and scientifically studied strains for whole body benefits and I truly do see so many benefits from taking it and that's why I can't go without it anymore so I actually used to take this other brand of probiotics and they used to hurt my stomach so much when I would take them on an empty stomach and so I had to stop taking them but ever since I started taking seeds my stomach has been completely fine and I actually do take them every single morning just because I know that it's completely fine on an empty stomach and like I said before I have suffered from gut issues in the past and if you don't already know this everything stems from your gut so that's why it's so important to keep your gut healthy taking it for over a month now and I just feel really amazing I've been on track I've been waking up early every morning and it just goes to show that when you're taking good care of your gut health it really does reflect outward since it helps support your gut health and maintain it that directly correlates to your skin so it also promotes smooth and clear skin and I just feel like lately my skin has been really glowing from within I know when my skin is glowing and it's clear that I'm like yeah I'm doing a good job at taking care of my gut health also you guys know that I'm somebody who loves working out and staying healthy and being fit and staying in a routine and seed definitely helps and supports my body to do that every single day and it just makes me feel really healthy and good overall so another fun fact is seed is actually free from dairy, gluten, soy, animal products, GMOs, peanuts, binders and preservatives so you're all good in those categories so this is a full container that the DS1 daily symbiotic comes in and then it also comes with a mini travel size so you guys can also take it on the go yeah like I said before when I was talking about them in a previous video 2023 for me it's the year of health and taking care of my body and I just feel like seed really helps me do that and it's something that's so easy to incorporate into your routine all that I do is take two capsules every single morning with water and that's it it's something that makes me feel so healthy and so good but it's so easy to do but yeah so if you guys want to shop them obviously the link will be in the description and you guys can use my coupon code vento to get yourselves 15 off but yeah so I'm just gonna take them and then we're gonna head to the gym I just got to the gym if you guys are confused I have an apartment gym but I also have a gym membership because my apartment gym is like super limited it has a bunch of free weights cardio machines and then some cable machines like it doesn't even have a squat rack or anything so that's why I have an actual gym membership so on the days where I want to do a more cardio based workout I'll go to my apartment gym the days where I want to like do lifting and stuff will come to my actual gym so that's why if you guys see me like at two different gyms that's why at least this one raining today so that's a plus we're looking at the positive side of things but anyways we're gonna go because self-discipline is one of the best forms of self love it's so true because like you're keeping a promise to yourself that and that's building a lot of trust within yourself so yeah let's go do a workout okay guys just go back to the gym it is cold shower time I am dreading this so much it's not even funny just gotta suck it up and do it I'm gonna pump myself up for this okay it's currently journaling time so I'm gonna do my gratitude journaling and then just my regular journal okay now we're gonna make a to-do list just on notion again like I said this is my favorite way to do it and it's just so ecstatic and cute but yeah I realized that the days I feel the least productive is when I don't make a to-do list so making a to-do list really does help me and it makes such a big difference I would say just trying it if you guys ever feel like lost within your day or you need some extra motivation because it just feels so good to accomplish the tasks take them off I always do the most daunting tasks first and then the list just gets easier and easier which makes it really nice so here is my to-do list for today um yeah we're all done for today's to-feel list I wrote want to be fulfilled lucky and abundant got that done I really like making these um it made me feel really good yesterday so this is something I also might continue doing in my morning routine okay we're going to read a bit of my book something that stood out to me in my book was really simple but I feel like it's something that a lot of us often forget so the longer you think thoughts the stronger they become because the law of attraction is behind the expansion of your thoughts it is not possible to give your attention to something without achieving an alignment with it to some degree so I just feel like this is so important for like our negative thought patterns that a lot of us have and how it's so important to shut them down because the more you think negative things the stronger they become the stronger you begin to believe them and then they're just going to start to manifest into your reality so it's just so important to be very cautious of your thoughts what you're thinking even if you don't really realize it just kind of try to pay attention to your thoughts more and if you realize that you have a lot of negative thoughts try and switch them and turn them into positive affirmations or positive thoughts instead and even if you have to lie to yourself at the beginning that's just like planting a seed still and the more you do it the more you're going to believe it and the faster your thoughts are actually going to turn positive so yeah that's just so important that I feel like I even forgot was that how powerful our thoughts are and how they manifest into our reality like it said to some degree okay that was it for the morning routine today but I will see you guys tomorrow right in early good morning oh my god good morning you guys this is actually the first time I talk today so that's why I cannot like that so first things first you know what the drill is we're gonna recall our dreams I had some weird weird dreams last night like weird you know when you just wake up and you're like what was that that's the type of dream that I had last night I don't even know how or why I jumped that but I did so we're gonna write it down I just like don't understand dreams it's so weird I'm like how did my mind even think of that all right getting in our first sip of water of the day it's good let's go do some meditation and hope that we stay awake it's the last day we do this morning routine it's also Friday today I'm gonna queue up the same playlist let's do this just got dressed into my workout set we're gonna just go down to my apartment gym today and do some cardio probably gonna do 12 3 30 or something like that I'm so sore from yesterday so yeah today's just gonna be a cardio day usually I was sauna after but today I'm not gonna sauna just because I'm following this morning routine it doesn't say to sauna but usually that's what I would do when I go to my apartment gym since we have a sauna here but this is a different morning routine we gotta test it out okay let's go to the gym it is now time for the most dreadful part of this routine which is the cold shower I do like I do not want to get in this is something that takes a lot of dedication and I'm just not ready to implement this into my routine because I just implemented waking up at around five which is like very early for me so doing this double whammy is definitely too much but I do understand why people do it and it's definitely gonna be something I eventually incorporate sometime in my life but just not now now is not the time for me but I do understand why a billionaire would want to do that anyways let's just do it let's get this done I'm just trying to talk to you guys longer and longer because I'm procrastinating doing it okay let's just do it so now it's time to journal it is so gloomy outside today like usually the sun is basically all the way up by this point but I have to turn the kitchen light on so anyway it's we're just gonna do the same journal um gratitude journal and then just my regular journaling I love journaling in the morning it's just such like a calm and peaceful time that you can make for yourself because I feel like throughout the day we're always go go go we feel like we need to be so productive but journaling and especially meditating too it's kind of my time where I sit down and I can be like okay like this time is for me and I get to just relax and do this for as long as I want and it's just like really I feel like key especially for me just to have that quiet time in the morning things are just still before the beginning of the day starts and things start to get chaotic okay so I just opened up Notion and we're gonna make our to-do list it's Friday today so we're gonna take it a bit easier later on ourselves I kind of like to be more lenient on myself on Friday so let's do that okay here is my to-do list for today so on my to-feel list today I wrote I want to feel inspired fulfilled and relaxed okay guys so that leads us to the end of the video after doing this morning routine for three days straight I kind of concluded that I like my morning routine better but I am going to continue to do some things in this morning routine like I said I really liked writing the to-feel list and I also really liked recalling my dreams so I'm definitely going to incorporate those two things into my morning routine the one thing that I didn't like about this routine was the timing I feel like I do things at different times like I don't journal after a workout I like journaling first thing when I wake up and so I mean I do a lot of the things on the morning routine but just in different timing so essentially I just kind of move things around and there's a couple new things that I had to do but overall I'm really glad that I tried this and I encourage you guys to try it just for fun because it's kind of interesting like people who have so much money like what are they doing in the morning anyways I hope you guys enjoyed this video comment down below what's your favorite thing that you do in your morning routine and maybe we can like inspire each other to add things into our own morning routine or try some new things but yeah thank you guys so much for watching I love you guys so much do not forget to subscribe and go follow my instagram


Hey guys, so in case you haven't noticed this is a brand new camera And this is something that I know you guys have been wanting me to do for ages This is something that you know probably should have done right from the start, but you know here we are I'm doing it now. So let's look at some questions that we can answer for you guys because it's been a while Hmm I like just reading through these questions and just like I sort of pick the most interesting ones usually But there are just some sometimes there's some random ones, but so Vivienne says Do you know what the meaning is of my last lucid dream? I was a hundred years old, but my face and body looked the same how they do now Well, to be honest, that's a dream interpretation Question that that's not really my area. It's not to interpret dreams It's more to you know teach you guys how to lose a dream how to control your dreams And I'm afraid I'm gonna have to pass on that question. So Alex Says can lucid dreaming be scary? Can it be you know difficult to know? Sort of what you want to do with it and where to go with it You know, it's a difficult to have a direction with lucid dreaming Well, yes, it is because when you think about it when you lose a dream You can do anything you want and so the real question becomes what do you do right?  I think you've got to understand that there are several different things you can do with this skill There's the first obviously which is a practical side of it. You can use it to improve skills. You can use it to Use it to improve skills You can use it to do all sorts of things like that, you know, improve confidence heal your emotional damage that sort of stuff That's one of the more practical side of things, but then you've also got the more playful fun You know explorative and creative aspects of it You could use it to get inspiration for a painting or for a piece of art that you want to Another piece of art maybe a song or something like that. You can use it to get inspiration for creative things and You can also use it to Get not answers as such but get sort of a guide and a push in the right direction for things You might be struggling with let's say if you're trying to make a big decision And you just need some sort of guidance You can actually go straight to the lucid dream and ask the dream itself, you know, what should I do?  That you had, you know, growing your fingernails, your hair This stuff is all controlled by the subconscious mind, which is for most of us out of reach So next question Somebody asks what's so special about the Lucid Dream Bootcamp course that I sent an email out recently Well, to be honest, the really special thing about it is that it forces you to take action Which is something that most e-books don't do Humans are fundamentally lazy, we procrastinate And we put things that we should do off for as much time as we possibly can The Bootcamp is designed to be an investment You're supposed to feel like you're investing some sort of money or, you know, assets into it Although it's fairly cheap, in my opinion And the idea is that you invest in it And then because it's a 30-day plan and a template You know, it would be pretty silly to spend the money on it And then not follow the steps every day for a month And that's why it's so important And then not follow the steps every day for a month And that's why it's so effective because it makes people think Okay, well I've just brought this thing So probably follow the steps And then obviously they follow the steps for the 30 days and they have a lucid dream That's what's so special By the way, guys, you know, just to reiterate It's really important that you remember your dreams and write them down Otherwise there's no point to all of this because you can't really Say you've had the experience I mean, obviously you have had the experience if you do have a lucid dream and don't remember But if you don't write them down then you can't look back on them later And you know, think about how cool they were Alright, that's it for now guys If you enjoyed this video, this style of video, please let me know Hopefully you've enjoyed the new camera quality that's going to be in every video from now on And I'll see you next time


So I want them to get comfortable with that idea of be okay, not knowing. I'm okay, not knowing. Find the answer and the answer for me isn't going to be the answer for you. So I tend to teach in a lot of analogies. The one I use when we talk about meaning-making and social annotations is, what's the best way to cook a steak? The answer is how you like it. So that's how I approach that idea of meaning-making. Can I say that if it's your opinion? Yes. You don't have to ask my permission for what can I, can it mean that if you can support it with information from the text, it can mean anything you want it to mean? And social annotations for me allow students to not just hear the teacher's perspective. I think a lot of times the teacher stands up and they say, this is this, this and the other, and then does anyone else have another opinion? Well, I've already shared my opinion, so no one's going to give another opinion because I'm right, they're wrong. We've all seen Matilda. I'm smart. You know, I'm big, you're small, and it's that concept. So social annotations allows people to go, hey, there are other people who thought that was strange, or hey, someone else noticed that thing that I maybe would not have ever gotten to, but it helps them to feel a little less alone in their thinking and helps them see that there are other avenues of looking at things. So often it's here, let me tell you what's right. And it's hard to say, well, tell me your opinion, but social annotations is a very safe way to explore and kind of voice something where you can say it, and if you're not quite right, it's okay. No one's going to do that. And I'm not reading them in lifetime. In lifetime, if a kid raises their hand and says something, I can be like, well, actually, but writing it down, it's going to take a long time for me to get through that. I typically don't even look at them until they've been working for about 20 or 30 minutes, just so that I'm not focusing on like one or two people. I like to have a large number there, but a lot of times when we start, I won't include my annotations. That's for them. That's for them to explore their thoughts. And I may go through there and pull that into class and say, hey, some people said that, what do you guys think? Let's talk this through. Who agrees with this as opposed to me going through necessarily grading, you're right, you're wrong, nope, don't think so, try again. And that's really freeing for them. And it's something that they have to learn because by 11th or 12th grade, they're very, very stuck on, tell me the right answer, tell me what you want, that's what I will give you. So social annotations, I'm able to bring in as a way of like getting them out of, looking for the right answer. The right answer is what you can prove. And this helps them to see that in a way that's very non-threatening.


So this is the fourth volume of IOM's fatal journeys report. The series generally tries to show as accurately as possible the available data on migrant deaths and disappearances worldwide. This year's report focuses on a very important thematic issue that is the issue of missing migrant children. IOM has recorded the deaths of nearly 1,600 children across the world since 2014, but unfortunately this number really only scratches the surface of the true number of child fatalities on migration routes worldwide. IOM is part of the Joint Call to Action with UNICEF, UNHCR, Eurostat and OACD that aims to improve data on children on the move. IOM firmly believes that improving data on missing migrants and on children on the move will help to create better evidence-based policies to protect those most vulnerable.

Well, we expect a drama on day three of the New Zealand Open presented by Sky Sport at the Mulbook Resort in New Zealand, South Ireland, and we certainly got it. It was a congested leaderboard at the start of the day and remains that way at the completion of round three. Here in Snimon from South Africa, Birdie's the 18th. Brilliant Hong Kong youngster, Tai Chi Kou, hit his second to the Power 5 14th, managed to find the top level and two-putted for Birdie. Long-hitting Japanese star, Hatachi would also birdie the same hole soon after. A few New Zealanders are in the mix, but their hopes currently align with Josh Geary. He birdied from behind the green at the 15th. Joint third-round leader, Matt Griffin, got his round off to a brilliant start. Here he hits his second to the first. At the 16th, he had this tremendously difficult part across the green and across the ridge under yet another birdie. But on the same hole soon after, second-round leader, Scott Hand, hit the perfect approach which stopped on the top of the ridge and fared down into the hole for an eagle to get to 13 under par after what had been a fairly slow round to that point. He was forced to lay up at the Power 5 17th and this was his third to set up yet another birdie for the day.


I guess we'll go ahead and get started, so my name is Michael and like you probably saw I'm working for those. So I've been working in Wordpress for a long time. I ran into plenty of problems. So the topic for today's talk actually comes from my history with playing Clue with my family.  I draw extended charts out in the little charts that they have with the game, and then I usually figure it out three or four steps ahead of everybody else. So you're going to kind of learn a similar approach to Wordpress troubleshooting as to how I play Clue. So some good work. So talking about troubleshooting, obviously there's kind of two situations. You have something that you were hoping wouldn't happen, that didn't happen at all, or you have something that didn't happen that you were hoping would happen. So that's kind of obvious, but we're going to kind of run through probably a few more obvious things, and then we'll get into the meat of it. So as far as troubleshooting, we have three basic steps. Obviously you want to, well I say obviously, a lot of people skip steps. So first you want to kind of document what's going on, right? And then once you have some sort of idea of this is what's happening, and this is documentation to kind of back that up, then you go into the diagnosis phase. So just like you don't want to have a doctor just diagnose you without really understanding your symptoms, you probably should try to diagnose the wordpress or website problem until you have a clear idea of what's actually happening. And then of course you've got to figure out once you diagnose the issue, what do we do next? So we'll try to address all of these things. So again, like I said, we have portable symptoms, what is the cause, and then what do we do about it? So there's a few things that kind of go into documenting an issue. And so normally we think, you know, I run through this issue, I know in my head what's going on, I don't necessarily need to write anything down. Not always true. So what we want to do is take note of a few essential details before we get started. So one of those is, well, these are the steps, right? So you want to write down what are the steps it took to reproduce the issue, what was it that actually happened, and then what was it you expected to happen, right? So there's obviously a difference of what you want to have happen and what actually happened. But the reproduction steps are important because you'll see in a little bit that there's some loopholes there. So this is my vanity of each of debugging. I did, I saw I expected. So if you can remember that, that's like the three key things I like to think about when I'm trying to document an issue. But then you want to kind of look at the contextual details, right? So you've got three basic things there. And then we're going to look a little bit at things like work arounds, right? So, well, if this is what you did, is there another way to replicate the issue? So that could be a clue as to what's going on. And when was it that the problem actually occurred? It may not seem like an important detail, but as you get into it, it may become a very important detail. So for example, oh yeah, I installed that plug-in or WordPress update happened in the war, something like that, right? So important to know the timing of that because you may get a weekend and still have a problem and then realize that maybe it's correlated to this thing. And if you know exactly, if you've noted when that happened, it can help. So yeah, recent changes, things like WordPress updates, any kind of configuration updates or things like that. Make a difference. Pay attention to software versions. So if you're not familiar, if you go into WordPress, there's the tools section. I don't think, it used to be there was nothing there. So no one really wins into the tools section. But now they're putting more and more things there. That's where your site health check is. So you can go and check there. Matter of fact, debug step number one, sometimes your website just tells you what's wrong. So check that. And then it has a button you can click and it will snag all of the versions of things. So if you needed to paste it into a support ticket or something like that, it makes it really easy. And then being aware of environmental issues. Was there some sort of change on the hosting side? Unfortunately, not all hosts will tell you this. Another host, not Lou host to be unnamed. I was working on a website one time and I built the site. It was live. I hadn't touched it in months. And then all of a sudden one day just white screen. Nothing. So I went in and started trying to figure it out. Took me a couple hours, but I figured it out. There's this one line of code that was the issue. And I found, well, I asked specifically the host if they had made a particular type of update. They said no. And then I discovered that yes, indeed it was related to this thing. And then I asked them again and they said yes. So environmental issues. And then, you know, what are the error messages and things that you see popping up? You may not see them popping up. So we'll talk a little bit about that. And then a screen capture or some sort of video as well is helpful just to remember exactly what happened. So, yeah, so as I mentioned, and some of these pictures are probably hard to see back there, but we have the site health tool, right?  That's probably why you don't have these issues. So trying to address some of those things first could be helpful, but maybe not always specific to your issue, but it could be a helpful clue at least. And then there's another tool, and this isn't the only tool like it. There's other ones, but Stream is a really great tool because there's certain pieces of information that Wordpress can give you by default from the site health tool, and there's certain pieces of information you can glean, but there's just certain information that if you're not paying attention and time goes by, you'll never get that information. So a tool like Stream will tell you, oh, yeah, this update happened or this person edited this post or they changed some setting in the customizer. So especially when you have multiple people working on a website, it's important to know these things because you'll see it broken and you know you didn't do anything. And then if you look and see, oh, it broke here. This is the last person who touched it. Let me talk to them. And then you get a better idea of what's going on. Yeah, this is a free point. So yeah, so this is one of the tools I would just say go ahead and install it because you can't retroactively give that information. So it has to be running and active. But yeah, so that's kind of the collection of information. So you know what you did to reproduce the issue. The Site Health tool has all that info you can grab and then you have the Stream tool, which will have some more information. And then you kind of go into the diagnosing stage. So this is my big word of warning. Always, always, always have a backup of your site before you go changing stuff. And you can also, if you have the ability to create a staging site and do your testing there, that's probably the best way to do it. But at a minimum, just make sure you have a recent backup of the site. And of course, if the issue that is your issue is a completely broken site you should have backups anyway before that. So yeah, this is my matrix for troubleshooting. So this is the tool that hopefully you'll find helpful. So we have basically a couple of things, right? So we have our issue source here. And then we have our issue types across the top there. So just two things, a little simpler to include, right? No, I guess, I don't know, our rooms and weapons maybe. So yeah, so the idea here is you can rule out a particular source. If the issue is isolated to a specific page or a section of the site and it's not a problem in some other pages or sections then it's more likely a data issue than say, like, if they're plugging that issue or something. So then there's security. So we can have security issues if we don't notice, but then we also really don't realize we have a problem. So typically if you have a security issue, the way that you notice it is your site has obviously been hacked. So those are usually pretty easy to identify. And then we have the performance issue. So I think most people understand performance if your site is really slow, it takes 30 seconds to load or even just 10 seconds, you know, that's a problem. And a number of things can happen because of that. And then we have the environmental issues. So as a general rule, if you were able to rule out all the other types of issues, chances are you have an environmental issue. Something happened on the hosting side, something in the configuration of the site itself behind the scenes at the base level, something's off. So that kind of covers the top half or the top portion of that matrix. Now we're going to kind of go down the side and take a look at all the different potential sources that could be a cause of that. So the first one is plugins. And plugin, by the way, we're going through these in the order that they are most likely to be the problem. So plugins are probably the most likely to be. And we're going to go through all the steps that you need to take to ensure that you've been able to identify what the actual source is. So the things you want to do here are you want to deactivate all the plugins. Again, this is why you want to have a backup of your site or do this on a staging site because sometimes it shouldn't be true that turning something off and then back on, it should still work the same, but that is not always the case. Usually is, but not always. So turning all of those things off and then seeing if the problem still exists. Now obviously if your problem is related to the functionality that a particular plugin provides, you can't turn that plugin off because you can't test it, right? So if, for example, we had an event plugin that was starting an issue and you deactivated everything else and you still have the problem and it's just core WordPress and then this plugin, very likely that plugin is the issue. But it's also kind of hard to turn it off. So another fun tool, I've initially had really good success with this tool. I have to get the caveat that recently I've tried this a few times and the plugin hasn't worked exactly the way I expected. But they have a plugin that's a pretty cool idea. It's called plugin detective. And so you can install it and it will go through the process of turning certain plugins on or off and it does it in a faster way than if you were to just turn them all off and have to go through one by one, turn it on, go to the page. Does it work? Turn it on, go to the page. Does it work? This will load a page and then it will automatically turn stuff on and off and just reload the page for you and say, is it broken? You just say yes or no and then at the end it'll tell you this is a problem or none of these plugins are a problem. So it's a quick way to kind of run that one down if it works. So then we have the theme. So the easiest way to test if you have a theme issue is to switch to the default WordPress theme, which could... I mean, obviously there's a lot of default WordPress themes at this point. Any default WordPress theme will work. Again, the caveat there is if your theme does everything under the sun and then you switch away from it and it was associated with some of that functionality, then who knows, right? It's probably the theme because the fact that they provide all that functionality but my recommendation is just to find a theme that just does what a theme should do and then use plugins for everything else. Don't try to get a theme that does 40,000 things because it's a nightmare to try to move away from that kind of thing. So then we have caching, right? Caching is another one that catches people off guard a lot. So this is where you go to load up a page and, all right, usually what happens is someone goes in to edit a page and then they're looking at it and they're logged in and everything looks great and then they turn their computer off and they go to their friend and they're like, hey, look at this new thing I made and their friend pulls it up on their computer and doesn't look anything like what they just did, right? So there's a difference between being logged in and seeing it and being logged out and seeing it or seeing it in a totally different browser or a totally different computer. So that's kind of your indicator that you have some sort of caching issue. Because if you just clear the cache or even better, if your cache had properly cleared itself when you made the change, then everyone on the site would be seeing the same thing. So generally, if you can log out or log in and get it to behave differently or if you can look in on a different device or browser and it behaves differently, then it's a caching issue. And then again, so we have and this is why data, like I said, is a little tricky. We have data as a source but also as an issue type. So again, can you correlate the data with a particular setting in WordPress or some sort of data entity? Try to change the settings, right? So if you think that it could be related to a particular thing, then just mess around the set, right? Test those out, try. So another interesting problem, I don't think people have had a big problem now, but I remember plenty of times like I would copy something and then paste it onto the website and then stuff will get really weird, right? Like you get weird characters or just like things would not show up or random stuff like that. This is how I found out about something called Gremlins, which are like, they have apparently something called zero white characters, which are characters you do not see, but they wreak havoc against the name Gremlins. So if you, particularly if you copy-pasted something, this could be a potential issue. So I found that one of the easier ways of dealing with it is just to delete the content and type it out by hand. And if that works, then that could be what you're dealing with. Just a question. When you're talking about data, what data are you talking about? So what was it? I'm trying to be slightly vague because it could be anything, specific to your site. But so like the example of events, right? Like let's say you have an events and maybe like, I don't know, a map's not showing up. Well, you know, it's a little, like I said, data can be a little tricky. But if you think about it, right? It takes a time to say, okay, well, why would maps not be showing up? It could be the functionality of the events plugin or the map plugin or whatever is not working, but it could also be, oh, the address that I put in couldn't be mapped to an actual geolocation and actual longitude and latitude. And so it can't figure out where to put things and it thinks that there's no places to show so it doesn't show the map or something like that, right? So, yeah, kind of a vague answer. No, that's also a thing. Yeah. And then we have third-party integration. So, this is, for example, having, you know, maybe your Twitter feed or some Facebook stuff that shows on the sidebar somewhere or in a putter, you know, if all that just stops working, then the first thing you should check is is Twitter down, is Facebook still up, you know? Or there, yeah, random things like that. So there's a lot of times you can check that it's easily just going to status pages for a particular service. And then, you know, there's, sometimes there's more specific integrations where you, all you can do is call the company, but don't assume that it's a plugin until after you figure out it's not the service itself. And then we have the server as a potential source. So if, as I gave the example earlier, if the site went down and no one, literally no one had touched the site in a month, you know, you can't really attribute it to anything else. 99% of the time that I found it is the server or the environment, hosting environment itself. And then, of course, at least likely, there's still a possibility is there could be a problem with WordPress itself. So in this scenario, we have to kind of narrow those things down, right? So we ruled out, oh, it's not a plugin or a data issue or whatever. You know, it's not a caching issue. So usually we can narrow it down. Maybe you'll have a couple of columns or rows that are potentials. You know, you're not really sure. And then we can go from there. So for plugins, if you identify that's where the issue is, the first thing I do is I try to reach out to a plugin author and say, hey, this very specific thing is broken. Here are my reproduction steps. Here's my screenshots. Here's the versions of the things I'm using. They're gonna, it saves, especially on the free forums when it takes like three days for people to respond. It can be very helpful just to have all that information. Now granted, some of that information maybe you don't want to post on a public forum, but there are ways you can paste that information now on the forum, specifically as like a private note for the plugin developer or something like that. Just know that if you're doing it on a free plugin, sometimes the authors don't actually provide support at all on there. So there's that. But that's the first step. Other option is you can always use a different plugin, unless of course this is one of two plugins and you chose this one because that one other one was no good. So then you're kind of in a catch 22 there. But yeah, usually there's some alternative that you can do it. Of course, the third course of option, action. If those two don't work, it's hiring a developer to fix the plugin and then ideally have that developer contribute that back to the plugin author and go from there. And I'll say this too, it's not uncommon to have two plugins that just because you're using both of those two specific plugins, they cause an issue. So you could be turning plugins off and on and then the problem shows up. But it only shows up because you have this plugin and this plugin active. So just be aware there could be a correlation between that. So for example, like I had a Gravity Forms, one of the Gravity Wiz, Gravity Perks extensions combined with custom Gravity Forms plugin somebody else wrote. And we're trying to get them to work together to do a special address auto-couple functionality and so you type in the address and it would pull from Google but then you would click it and it was supposed to pre-fill the fields but it didn't pre-fill one of the fields just because the way that this other plugin worked reflected the way this one worked. So I went to the one author and they said, oh yeah, it'll never work because of the way this other thing works. And I went to these people and was like, we wrote you some code, you can just paste it on your site and it'll work with both. So it's always a way to kind of, when you have two plugins, sometimes you get this plugin author lanes the other one and that one lanes the other one and that gets to be a weird situation but ideally in most cases I've found that you can get something to happen. So it's the same situation with a theme except this time you can only run one theme at a time so it's going to be a single theme that you're talking about. And then we have caching. So well the first course of action to verify is to flush the cache. I don't consider flushing the cache a permanent solution but it's also not so usually if you have caching it's cached for a certain period of time and if you happen to just notice that it has a refresh within this time frame it could just be that the type of change that you made didn't automatically clear the cache for whatever reason. Is this a cache on my website? Well maybe. I have a whole other caching talk it's a whole other hour. There are different types and levels of caching so typically most people will call some sort of plugin that does caching and so when they do that what's like caching? Most likely page caching is what we're talking about but there's also browser caching which is not something you can clear it's something that clears itself where the user goes in and clears it for themselves so that's another popular caching but then there's other tools out there like cloud flare and other services that get used that also happen to be cleared there's object caching and so usually when post has like three or four maybe more types of caching they'll give you one place to go and you can flush all of them just to see if that makes care of it but if you're constantly running into this problem it's very likely that whatever that caching solution is is not properly saying when I update a post I can't make sure that goes and that's why you keep getting that problem so it could be that you misconfigured something in a plugin that does caching but it also could be the host misconfigured something or something like that so just be aware of that flushing the cache may work but it may not be the ultimate solution and then we have data because at that point at the time you've narrowed in on a data issue you pretty much know and probably have control over that data so you should be able to fix it and then of course with third-party integrations the services down usually I'll just say we'll wait it out but sometimes a service will have kind of a I don't know chronic issue and then you have to make that decision to switch to something else let's see yeah and then of course with any kind of server environment issue you should be able to reach out to your web host if your site is hosted by some random person who says I do hosting and isn't very responsive you should get a real web host what's that yeah I kind of like it good office and then if you have a WordPress bug then you should report so I probably should have a link somewhere in the slides maybe I don't remember if I have links in here but there are places specific places if you just Google reported WordPress bug it should point you in the right direction to like a place you can do that so obviously this is very kind of a vague thing but I think the matrix aspect of it is the more interesting part it's not something I've seen anywhere else is that available for us to download too yeah so the slides well I'm trying to best way to share it it's just a Google slide page technically I really really need to write a blog post on this and just put this in here I haven't done that yet but yeah if you want to come up and snap a photo or something you can do that but I'll also can share off the link I guess technically you can go to WPscholar.com go to the contact form and just say hey send me a link to the slide deck and I can do that so a lot of the issue types I guess are pretty obvious when you look at it but if it's a visual issue or interactive the one that might get stuck out is when you pull up a page and it's just a white screen yeah how do you do this start yeah so if you get a white screen so both first of all there's usually an error message of some kind it's just normally on a production site showing that is a bad idea for security reasons so that's usually hidden so if your web host or you can set up some sort of staging site I think by default usually the staging sites will have will show you the error message so if you can copy the site and then do it in staging and you start to see those issues if you don't there is a simple let's say simple you do have to go into a pgbplot so there's a wpqpgplot and you can add the wpdbug true and sometimes that's set to true but there's also another thing called wpdbug display so actually make sure you can still see it and there's another one called the log yeah and there's one wpdb so if you wanted to actually log those errors you can find those on the server in a file that I've been tracking before we'll send the errors to a file somewhere and some web hosts will even have like a screen in the interface where it will show errors so there's that as well but yeah usually once you see the error it'll tell you the path to the file where that error is happening and 9 times out of 10 it includes the name of the plugin yeah because it's in the path of the thing the main issue that you're talking about though is that if you're beginning a white screen WordPress might not even be running at that point so WordPress won't be able to spit out any debug information for you well of course now the way it works if you get an actual white screen like you said is probably because there's something that's happening before WordPress is fully loaded but WordPress now outputs that even in production if it fatal errors it'll show that your site is experiencing a critical issue or something and it has a link to find out more information but it also emails whoever the admin is the actual full error if you get an email especially if you haven't looked at your site lately that says there's an issue take close attention to the path and maybe the plugin or whatever it is that's causing it could be a theme and of course if you identify it as a plugin that's a problem you won't want to disable it you could go into the file system and like reading the folder that you turned it off but that's kind of a complicated thing Bluehost actually has an interface where you just go toggle things on and off and even if the site doesn't fully load it will still turn that thing off so that would be one option but yeah just making sure you disable whatever it is that was one of the things that I would when I get the white screen or you know that it's a problem with this plugin you can't even get to the WP admin to turn it off I would do that but reading the plugin folder it just doesn't seem the right way to do it but I guess it is so so if you disable a plugin by say renaming the folder and you log into WordPress and go to the plugin screen it will then say all this plugin doesn't exist we've turned it off for you and so then at that point that plugin will never reactivate until you manually go reactivate so just a side note yeah that's another thing where it can reconfigure itself so but yeah like renaming the entire plugins folder something else and then visiting the site and seeing how it lives you can do a database too yeah if you really know what you're doing you can go to the database and there's an active plugins option in there that you can just clear out you can use WPCLI too yeah usually you'll have to do like dash dash get plugins when you do WPCLI so that it doesn't actually run the plugin so we'll just run WordPress and deactivate whatever it is you're trying to turn off but yeah it'll work a couple of things one of the ways that I get rid of gremlins and data is if I'm copying and pasting is copy it, put it in a notepad because that takes out all the formatting and then paste it into WordPress which is rid of a lot of things like that and sometimes with integrations I'll reload the API and that will sometimes get rid of little bugs there it's kind of like sometimes just yeah reconnect or exactly hey remember me and it goes oh yeah I'll hold right sometimes I'll fix that also in Element there's icon that will clean out your whatever you post it gosh it's a kind of that actually is something that I've experienced plenty of times Elementor has kind of like its own little cache of things that it stores so sometimes when you have a caching issue it's not just your plugin slash host slash cloud player slash all these things it's also oh just clear that thing in Elementor and then I'll go into this is if you're in the for instance the text part and you go and you copy something in there or you've written it or got it in there somehow and you look at it or it's all sorts of junk in there and you push that icon oh yeah it's a clear formatting yeah I think I know the old WordPress editor actually had a button that would do some sort of cleaning so I think it's just it may actually be a carryover from that just being injected into Elementor but but yeah but yeah you have to know it's there to use it yeah I used to have a lot of caching issues and I'm going to talk about BPS I used to be on a shared server but caching was the big issue what caching plugin do you recommend that kind of is good but not too good so I guess I run Elementor and that's when I clear when I make a lot of changes I clear the cache and I pull it up again and it's a disaster I know it's not a disaster for long but initially it's a real disaster and it's like oh my god what happened to my site and it takes a while for it to reset for whatever reason but do you have any recommendations like I use WP fastest cache and I also use all in one I know I'm sorry there's another caching plugin that I use so yeah so one thing I've noticed is that a lot of times a lot of the caching issues are actually related to people using too many caching plugins so and you have to understand and this is again part of that long caching talk what your host offers what you need to fill the gap in on and so having a plugin that will do certain things but knowing to turn this off and their plugin that handles this thing or you know understanding your hosting environment building on top of that and sometimes that's just calling and asking so you're saying that the host might be able to provide software to do that behind the scenes and not have to worry they may be doing it without even knowing and that may be causing problems most web posts have some sort of caching already in place now what type of caching and to what extent that will vary but as a general recommendation for free plugins I can't say that I have caching plugins that I like a lot I like W3 Total Cache but it is like you have to be a wizard to configure it but as far as like paid plugins my favorite combination is WP Rocket and Imagify the image optimization because they work together really well they also don't take up like a primary link in your site bar and you can configure it and they even have guides how to configure for WP Engine and GoDaddy and all these different web servers so they are familiar with what the host provides and how you should configure that thing which is a lot more than you'll get for any other a lot of those plugins aren't just doing caching they're doing a lot of other things too like deferring JavaScript and all that stuff so you have to go through a whole other configuration process with that caching plugin so there's caching and then there's what I call performance optimization which is non caching things that happen so if you start messing around with how JavaScript loads and all this kind of stuff it may work really really well and it can also break horribly and so what you're describing and looking horrible could be related to like your CSS something got mangled I think Rocket has like a safe mode yeah so like if you choose like there are certain things that are always safer to use and certain things that are more risky so usually it's safe to combine CSS it's more risky to combine JavaScript it's also more risky to do what they call critical CSS or the styling just for the top part of the page before you start to scroll and then they put all the other stuff and have it load later well if that's not properly configured then it will just flip atrocious and then if you don't know how to like reconfigure that then it can be a mess so if you just don't use that feature it could impact your Google web scores and stuff like that so probably something that kind of professional come in and actually do it right and I've noticed some plugins that aren't specifically for caching has caching in it and they also have WP and I like WP optimized but I don't use the caching feature I only use it for database optimization and then I delete it and that's another doctor oh yeah question does you run site help that's at least when I do that I get a note that says try this for caching you need this type of caching but does it normally look at caching problems on the site help WordPress itself will have specific checks and I think right now the one related to caching is what we call a persistent object cache so not all web hosts provide it so sometimes yeah and usually it is something that your web hosts will have to provide I think W3 Total Cache can be like an alternative to object caching that you can just use but yeah otherwise it's pretty much just a web hosting is that worth changing to what they say so it can make a big difference so the times where that would make more of an impact is if you have an e-commerce site or if you have like a lot of people working in the WordPress app if you have page caching on the front end of your website everything will probably load it wouldn't even be making those requests to the database for the information but when you're in the admin usually nothing is cached in there so if you've got I don't know say you run in a big new site you've got 100 editors you know they're all in there every day of working which is why I say e-commerce is probably the most common use case where you really want to have that because technically when people are buying things um you're not really caching everything because you don't want to show other people's parts to other people because you've cached it so that's where the e-commerce would come in I don't even know what time it is or how much time we have left here 13 minutes I'm just starting this well if you have questions or issues feel free to swing by where are the books so if you go to the auditorium
