Foreach loop conversion

To convert the `while` loop to a `foreach` loop in your WordPress template, you can loop over the `$wp_query->posts` array, which contains all the posts. Here’s how you can modify your code:
<section id="blog-content-section" class="blog-search-section">
<div class="row blog-section-container">
<div class="blog-section">
<?php
global $wp_query;
echo $wp_query->request;
?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
<header>
<h3><?php printf( __( 'Search Results for2: %s', 'your-theme' ), get_search_query() ); ?></h3>
</header>
<?php
// Use foreach to loop through the posts
foreach ( $wp_query->posts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post );
?>
<div class="search-result-wrapper blog-post-card">
<?php
// Get the post ID
$post_id = get_the_ID();
echo 'Post ID: ' . $post_id; // Output the post ID
?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="full-link-wrapper">
<?php if (has_post_thumbnail()) : ?>
<div class="thumbnail image-container">
<?php the_post_thumbnail('square-small', ['class' => 'img-circle img-fluid']); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<div class="post-content text-container">
<h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
</div>
<span class="link">Read More</span>
</a>
</div>
<?php endforeach; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
<div class="container container-pager">
<nav class="post-nav">
<ul class="pager">
<?php if (get_next_posts_link(__('Older posts', 'sage'), $wp_query->max_num_pages)) : ?>
<li class="previous button-search"><?php next_posts_link(__('Older posts', 'sage'), $wp_query->max_num_pages); ?></li>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if (get_previous_posts_link(__('Newer posts', 'sage'))) : ?>
<li class="next button-search"><?php previous_posts_link(__('Newer posts', 'sage')); ?></li>
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
</nav>
</div>
<?php else : ?>
<h2><?php _e( 'Nothing Found', 'your-theme' ); ?></h2>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div>
</section>
### Key changes:
1. Replaced the `while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();` loop with `foreach ( $wp_query->posts as $post ) :`.
2. Used `setup_postdata( $post );` to set up the post data for each iteration.
3. Added `wp_reset_postdata();` after the loop to reset the global `$post` object.
This approach is a more efficient way of iterating through posts when you already have a list of posts in `$wp_query->posts`.
