configuration and file used

kindly modify the settings in file to suit your needs 

# Email server
  -   gmail server to send mail ("[email protected]") used in signup.php line 132, forgot_password.php in line 59, verify_email.php in line 45, in both user/admin panel settingsController.php in line 107
  -   gmail password for authentication before sending mail (p@ssword123456) used in signup.php line 133, forgot_password.php in line 60, verify_email.php in line 46, in both user/admin panel settingsController.php in line 108

# links to verify email
    i used the variable $link="http://localhost/fiverr/oneupmeta/reset_password.php?reset_code=$token"; because i stored the files in a www/fiverr/oneupmeta/reset_password.php directory so that i can test this on a local server but may not work in your case because folder directory may differ, so modify those links to suit your file directory where oneupmeta file was placed or copied to, preferably on a live hosting. I know about base url and paths, but this url is a reference to another page, that the user will go to, php server variables will only show the current requesting url and not from another page entirely.

    you will need to make that link changes in the following files:
        -   signupController.php in line 44
        -   forgot_password.php in line 41
        -   in both user/admin panel settingsController.php in line 28
        -   in article-details.php line 342 change this too to suit your file directory ($site_url = "http://localhost/fiverr/oneupmeta/share.php?article_id=$article_id";)

# Google adsense
