Advertisement in Loop Posts wordpress

Question

Use WP_Query and then loop the results using break when you want to stop to put the ad.

$args = [                   
  'posts_per_page' => 5
];

$posts = new WP_Query($args);

Then loop 2

<section class="posts">
<?php $cont = 0; ?>
<?php
  while( $posts->have_posts() ) : $posts->the_post(); $cont++;        
    $id = get_the_ID();
    //Show your post here
    if($cont >= 1) break;
  endwhile;
  ?>
</section>

<div class="ad">
<?php //Show ad ?>
</div>

<?php //Rest of the posts ?>
<section class="posts">
<?php
  while( $posts->have_posts() ) : $posts->the_post();     
    $id = get_the_ID();
    //Show your post here
  endwhile;
  ?>
</section>

If you are doing this in a Post or Page you should reset the query after showing the posts:

wp_reset_postdata();
