(Updated) Why forced VI AI pub ID?

Hello @quickfever,

this has nothing to do with Ad Inserter.
Please be assured the plugin inserts only the codes you configure.

I suggest to use debugging functions to selectively disable insertions so can easily diagnose which code is responsible for that ID:
https://adinserter.pro/documentation/debugging#back-end

Please note that when you disable Ad Inserter you also disable insertion of all codes and blocks you have configured.

I can check your site if you post page address and enable remote debugging.
