Advertisement as Alternative Template in Template Loop - How it should work?

[black-eye]

Prerequisites

• I have searched for similar feature requests in both open and closed discussions and cannot find an existing request.
• I have verified that the feature is still missing from the latest stable versions of Elementor or Elementor Pro.

What problem is your feature request going to solve? Please describe..

I'm not sure how to add an advertisement to the loop the correct way. There might be a bug or some missing feature.

My goal is:

1. To add an ad banner on 2nd position in the loop.
2. There should be 9 items per page in the loop
3. The banner should be shown on every page

I'm using a loop with alternative template (the ad banner being alternative template), but I'm unable to make it work as needed.

• When the alternative loop is applied only once and used on the Static position, it's shown only on the first page (not on page 2, 3 etc.)
• When Static Item position is turned off, the items in the loop are REPLACED by the banner - these items will be HIDDEN to every user. But the banner is shown on all the pages.
• When I turn off "Apply Once", the banner is shown 3 times on every page, which is not what I want.

Am I missing something, am I doing something wrong, or are there some limitations to your system?

Thanks
