How to fix the error of duplicating the Vkontakte widget?

Question

JavaScript

Comrades, help solve the problem with VKontakte group widgets.
I don’t understand for what reason, but the VKontakte widget is duplicated.

Answer 1

I would like to note your repetition id="vk_groups", which is a gross mistake.
Of course, because of this, you may have problems, since the VKontakte function tries to access an element with an id that is equal to vk_groups. But due to the fact that you have two of them, your code may not work correctly.

Answer 2

I copied your code and checked in Fiddle
jsfiddle.net/w13au2a4 there is no duplication, your problem is in another place, most likely it was previously connected somewhere. and forgot to remove, well, these are assumptions)
