Im trying to figure out how to keep while loop going for posts on another section in bootstrap columns or is there way to "break it" and then keep it going where it remained? First picture shows the while loop showing 5 posts the way i want. Picture below shows how i want the next 6 posts keep going vertically. Now im getting the posts to show but it starts from the first post and just duplicates them.
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<?php
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'posts_per_page' => 5,
);
$blogposts = new WP_Query($args);
$i = 0;
while($blogposts->have_posts()) {
$blogposts->the_post();
if ($i < 2) :
?>
<div class="col-md-6">
<?php else : ?>
<div class="col-md-4">
<?php endif; ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">

Reset to default 3'break' is the right keyword... code structure below, no custom query needed if used in a standard template.
<?php
$posts_per_first_section = 6; //how many posts you want to show in the first section//
if ( have_posts() ) :
?>
<!-- opening html for first loop -->
<?php
/* Start the Loop */
while ( have_posts() ) :
the_post();
//your output per post in the first section//
//for example//
get_template_part( 'template-parts/post/content', get_post_format() );
//check for 'break' out of first loop//
if( $wp_query->current_post+1 == $posts_per_first_section ) break;
endwhile; ?>
<!-- closing html for first loop -->
<?php //checking if there are more posts to show in second loop
if( $wp_query->current_post > 0 && $wp_query->current_post+1 < $wp_query->found_posts ) : ?>
<!-- opening html for second loop -->
<?php while ( have_posts() ) :
the_post();
//your output per post in the second section//
//for example//
get_template_part( 'template-parts/post/content', get_post_format() );
endwhile; ?>
<!-- closing html for second loop -->
<?php endif; //end checking if there are more posts to show in second loop
else :
echo 'no posts found';
endif;
?>
