This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
Client wants to create something like a dashboard page for users where they can see their own content or profile fields of that user.
Solution:
You have a View to show users on that My Account page.
You need to add a Query Filter to specify which user to display. You can't directly add a filter for "current user", you have to do it by specifying that the user ID is set by a shortcode attribute (by default the attribute is called users, but you can change this), see screenshot.
Now go back to where you insert the View and manually add the users attribute, and use a shortcode (which you can insert with the Fields and Views button) to provide the ID of the current user, which results in this:
[wpv-view name="akkaunt-informatsiya-o-vladeltse" users="[wpv-user field='ID']"]
(Note that you need to be careful with the single and double quotes.)

Hi there
You have a View to show users on that My Account page.
You need to add a Query Filter to specify which user to display. You can't directly add a filter for "current user", you have to do it by specifying that the user ID is set by a shortcode attribute (by default the attribute is called users, but you can change this), see screenshot.

[wpv-view name="akkaunt-informatsiya-o-vladeltse" users="[wpv-user field='ID']"]
(Note that you need to be careful with the single and double quotes.)
If you check your My Account page you should find it is now working.
