@swissspidy I figured I'd start here in case anyone else is running into he issue.
Most of my creator and blogger customers have to track web stories separate from their main UA and GA4 properties for their ad networks. Something changed, which is causing both accounts to fire on web stories when in the past they didnt.
the link to the dot org post is here.
In case someone stumbles upon this and would like to disable Site Kit's analytics output on stories (so that you can add a separate one using this plugin here), you can do so using the following filter:
add_filter( 'googlesitekit_analytics-4_tag_amp_blocked', static function( $blocked ) { if ( is_singular( 'web-story' ) ) { return true; } return $blocked; } );

@mikezielonka Define "issues"? I see an
amp-story-auto-analytics
tag withUA-16723097-3
and a regular one by SK withUA-16723097-2
. Plus anamp-pixel
by Jetpack. No AMP validation issues.Note that
amp-story-auto-analytics
and the regularamp-analytics
by SK track slightly different things.Depending on the issues you're seeing, I'd recommend opening a topic in our support forums or check out the GA help center. The comments section here is not the most ideal place.
