Duplicate output

Since the latest plugin update (6.0.2,), the query is not working correctly. I’m running WordPress 6, PHP 7.4.4

I have been using this code with no issues at all for years until the latest update. Now it outputs the HTML twice. The first output is without the CSS styling I assigned it and the second output is correct. Obviously, it should only output once.

if ( function_exists('wpp_get_mostpopular') ) {
    wpp_get_mostpopular(array(
        'post_html' => '
           <h3><a href="{url}">{text_title}</a></h3>
           <p>{summary}</p>
            <a href="{url}" class=\'read_more\'> Read more
            <span class=\'screenreader-visible\'> about {text_title}</span></a>',
            'post_type' => 'post',
            'range' => 'last7days',
            'freshness' => 1,
            'order_by' => 'views per day',
            'limit' => 3,
            'excerpt_format' => 0,
            'excerpt_length' => 140
    ));
}

I cleared the cache, but still has the same issue.
