 * Hi @letoiusz,
 * I understand you’re experiencing issues with your WooCommerce site. The error
   message you’re seeing is related to the `strip_tags()` function, which expects
   a string as an argument but is receiving an array instead. This is likely causing
   the fatal error on your `update-core.php` file.
 * To better assist you, could you please provide some additional information:
    1. Can you confirm if this error started appearing after a specific event, such
       as updating a plugin, theme, or WordPress itself?
    2. Are you using any plugins that directly interact with the update process?
    3. Please share with us the **System Status Report** which you can find via `WooCommerce
       > Status > Get system report > Copy for support`. You could copy and paste your
       reply here or paste it via [https://gist.github.com/](https://gist.github.com/)
       and send the link here.
 * In the meantime, you might find it helpful to enable [WordPress debugging](https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/debug/debug-wordpress/),
   which could provide more detailed error messages. Please note that debugging 
   should only be enabled for a short time as it might affect the performance of
   your site. Don’t forget to disable it once you’re done.
 * Looking forward to your response so we can continue troubleshooting this issue.
