How add condition in wordpress shortcode loop

Question

I want to multiple of 2 close div and open a new div in wp loop using shortcode post loop.

if($i % 2 == 0) {echo '</li><li>';}

  $i++;

How Can do it?

General loop:

<?php
  $i = 1;
//added before to ensure it gets opened
echo '<li>';
if ( $wp_query->have_posts() ) : while ( $wp_query->have_posts() ) : $wp_query->the_post();
     // post stuff...
  ?>
    <div class="frCol"><a href="#"><?php the_post_thumbnail('thumbnail', array('class' => 'imgthumb')); ?></a>
    <div class="item-info">
    <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
    </div>
    </div>
 <?php
     // if multiple of 3 close div and open a new div
     if($i % 2 == 0) {echo '</li><li>';}
  $i++; endwhile; endif;
//make sure open div is closed
echo '</li>';
 ?>

This is the shortcode:

function testimonial_thumb_shortcode($atts){
    extract(shortcode_atts(array(
        'category' => ''
    ), $atts));
    $q = new WP_Query(array(
        'posts_per_page' => -1,
        'post_type' => 'testimonials',
        'testimonial_cat' => $category
    ));
    $list = ' <ul>';
    while($q->have_posts()):
        $q->the_post();
        $idd = get_the_ID();
        $author_photo = wp_get_attachment_image_src(get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), 'thumbnail');
        $list .= '/*Main loop*/';
    endwhile;
    $list.= '</ul>';
    wp_reset_query();
    return $list;
}
add_shortcode('tthumb', 'testimonial_thumb_shortcode');

I have tested it and it works right. Could you explain what is exactly the problem? — Grzegorz Pawlik

Based on your comment, maybe this helps:

function testimonial_thumb_shortcode($atts){
    extract(shortcode_atts(array(
        'category' => ''
    ), $atts));
    $q = new WP_Query(array(
        'posts_per_page' => -1,
        'post_type' => 'testimonials',
        'testimonial_cat' => $category
    ));
    $list = ' <ul><li>';

    $i = 0; //init the counter

    while($q->have_posts()):
        $q->the_post();
        $idd = get_the_ID();
        $author_photo = wp_get_attachment_image_src(get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), 'thumbnail');
        $list .= '/*Main loop*/';

        $i++; //increase counter
        if($i % 2 == 0){
            $list .= '</li><li>';
        }

    endwhile;
    $list.= '</li></ul>';
    wp_reset_query();
    return $list;
}
add_shortcode('tthumb', 'testimonial_thumb_shortcode');

How can I use if($i % 2 == 0) {echo '</li><li>';} in above shortcode?

Md WpExperts Over a year ago

Another thing need to know? Where need to use other <li> and </li>. Actually the output will be look like: <ul><li><div>Here loop post</div><div>Here loop post</div></li><li><div>Here loop post</div><div>Here loop post</div></li><li><div>Here loop post</div><div>Here loop post</div></li><li><div>Here loop post</div><div>Here loop post</div></li></ul>
