My strip_tags() function doesn't seem to be working... It just keeps showing the ul and li

This is what I have:

<?php

$arg = array( 
    'menu' => 'main_menu',
    'echo' => false
);

echo strip_tags( wp_nav_menu($args), "<a>");

?>

I noticed in your code block that the variable is defined as $arg while the variable $args (notice the 's'; plural) is being passed in the wp_nav_menu() function.

In order to remove the <ul> and <li> tags refactor your code to include two other items to $args array:

$args = array( 
    'menu' => 'main_menu',
    'echo' => false,
    'items_wrap' => '%3$s',
    'depth' => 0
);
echo strip_tags( wp_nav_menu($args), "<a>");
