Using the bubble sort

For some reason calling my bubble sort function to main is not working. It reads out:
Error: argument of type "char(*)[30]" is incompatible with parameter of type "char*"

What am I doing wrong?

	{
		cout<< strings[i]<<" ";

		if (strcmp(strings[i],".")==0)

	}
}

void sortArray (char strings [25], int size)
{
	bool swap;
	char temp;

	do
	{
		swap = false;
		for (int count = 0; count < (size-1); count++)
		{
			if (strings[count] > strings[count+1])
			{
				temp = strings[count];
				strings[count] = strings[count+1];
				strings[count+1] = temp;
				swap = true;
			}
		}
	} while (swap);
}

void showArray (const char strings[], int size)
{
	for (int count = 0; count < size; count++)
		cout << strings[count] << " ";
		cout << endl;
}
sortArray (and showArray) take an 1D array of chars as an argument, and in main you pass a 2D array
