# Custom Query Posts?

 * Hey Eyal,
 * Just a quick question. I’m using the core plugin (upgrading shortly once I can
   get a few of the dev bits done!)
 * I’m using a custom query for a few posts to show on the homepage that are local
   to the user:
    `post_type=event&posts_per_page=4` etc..
 * Is there a distance argument I can use? ie
    `post_type=event&posts_per_page=4&
   distance=5` for example
 * Basically just to show the user the events most local to them.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi [@paul-m-uk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paul-m-uk/),
 * I apologize for the delayed reply.
 * Are you using the custom query with GEO my WP’s search results shortcode? Or 
   with a normal WordPress template page?

 * Hi Eyal, Looking to do a custom query ideally. The shortcode I can’t use. It 
   will be in a custom page template with a loop.

 * Hi Eyal, I haven’t heard back. I’m holding off buying the pro and post location
   addon as I need to know if I can use outside of your shortcode.
 * Would something like:
    `query_posts('post_type=service&posts_per_page=4&nearby
   =user');`
 * Work?
