problems after plugin update 1.3.12

The issue is coming from this code related to the shortcode implementation

// main item?
if ( ! in_the_loop() ) {
    // get current object
    $object = get_queried_object();

    // post?
    if ( is_a( $object, 'WP_Post' ) ) {
        $defaults['id'] = $object->ID;
        $defaults['type'] = 'post';
    // term?
    } elseif ( is_a( $object, 'WP_Term' ) ) {
        $defaults['id'] = $object->term_id;
        $defaults['type'] = 'term';
    // user?
    } elseif ( is_a( $object, 'WP_User' ) ) {
        $defaults['id'] = $object->ID;
        $defaults['type'] = 'user';
    }
}

When using the shortcode on pages that are not archive ones or on places where we don’t have loops, the correct Post ID gets overridden by $object = get_queried_object(); and $defaults['id'] = $object->ID;. This is causing all post counts across the page to have the same count number as the queried post – the one that the user is currently on.

You need to fix the code after // main item? part.

The temporary workaround for all that have the same issue would be to use the pvc_post_views_html filter like this:

add_filter( 'pvc_post_views_html', 'custom_pvc_post_views_html', 10, 5 );
/**
 * It replaces the number of views in the Post Views Counter plugin with the number of views in the
 * Post Views plugin
 * 
 * @param html The HTML to be filtered.
 * 
 * @return the html.
 */
function custom_pvc_post_views_html( $html ) {
	if ( ! function_exists( 'pvc_get_post_views' ) ) {
		return $html;
	}

	$views = pvc_get_post_views();

	$html = preg_replace( '/<span class="post-views-count">(.*?)<\/span>/', '<span class="post-views-count">' . $views . '</span>', $html );

	return $html;
}

The alternative option would be to use the pvc_get_post_views function and pass a post ID to it
