Hello,

It seems to be a known issue after upgrade Views plugin to version 3.0 above.

To fix this, the best solution is to manually remove one row from the options table(wp_options) of the database. The row key is "wpv_database_version". You can use a phpMyAdmin tool, or a plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-database-cleaner/ to remove this row. If you're not familiar with manually editing a database, I will be glad to do this for you. I would need access to your hosting control panel.
