 * What is the exact command being executed on line 126 of upgrade.php ?
 * Is genesis a paid for or free theme ?
 * Where do you get the PHP warning, front end, backend or both ?

 * Okay, firstly I dont have much knowledge of php. The warning was appearing on
   the dashboard and Genesis is a paid Studiopress framework
 * I went into cpanel and found the file wp-content/themes/genesis/
 * I couldn’t find lib/functions/upgrade.php
 * Can you tell me how I find it

 * If it helps to find the answer I found that when the plugin is activated Google
   fetch shows an error and testing the sitemap also shows an error.
 * When the plugin is de-activated both work

 * I deleted the plugin,then re-installed again checking each option one by one 
   making sure that at each stage everything worked. so far so good.

    If you can’t find the
   lib (/… etc) subfolder inside the genesis folder then I probably won’t be able
   to find it as well … and you’ll probably need to contact the theme developer.
 * Could you give us the big picture of this WordPress install ?
 * Have you just installed or perhaps updated the iTSec plugin and now this issue(
   s) is occurring ? Has anything changed ?
    What is the current iTSec plugin release
   in that install ? “Google fetch shows an error and testing the sitemap also shows
   an error.” What error message(s) is (are) displayed ? Frontend or backend ?
 * Oh, by the way, let’s ignore CompleXz intrusion, shall we ?
