 When accessing the WordPress admin page, a deprecation warning is
 displayed in the error logs:

  WARNING: [pool www] child 7 said into stderr: "NOTICE: PHP message: PHP
 Deprecated:  htmlspecialchars(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of
 type string is deprecated in /public/wordpress/wp-includes/formatting.php
 on line 4720"

 This issue arises because the strip_tags() function is being passed a null
 value. As of PHP 8.2, passing null to strip_tags() is deprecated and will
 trigger a warning. The code should ensure that a non-null value is passed
 to strip_tags() to prevent this warning.
