# Adding a custom post type into the query loop block

 * Hi, I’m just hoping to get some guidance on how I can go about querying a custom
   post type in the query loop block. I have a custom post type called ‘profiles’
   which I’m wanting to display these profiles on a specific page. Like a list of
   them, I’ve been thinking that using the query loop to display all profiles would
   probably be best but i’m not sure how I should begin to go about it. I would 
   prefer to be able to utilize code rather than relying on lots of plugins like
   ACF and others.
 * I realise that my question is somewhat ambigious or open to interpretation. I
   guess i’m just looking on some guidance on getting started. I have a local wordpress
   environment set up with wp-env.
 * What would my best approach be? Create my fields with ACF and then create a custom
   query loop block specific to my new post type or something else?
 * Any help appreciated

 * The query loop blocks shows all available post types for selection. See: [https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/query-loop-block/](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/query-loop-block/)
 * All you really have to do is add your post type. Whether via ACF or manually (
   see: [https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/post-types/registering-custom-post-types/](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/post-types/registering-custom-post-types/))
   it doesn’t really matter. Do it the way you can best deal with it. You don’t 
   have to develop your own loop block for this.
