    I have a directory website that lists accommodation that is for rent, B&B etc. I use the Events Manager plugin to show what’s going on.

    The accommodation data is stored in a custom post type with its own metadata, with address field.

    Is it possible to search ‘nearby’ events in a radius of say 5 miles of the accommodation in a list or on the map using the Events Manager plugin or if it was custom code would it rely on Google maps api?

    Thank you, that’s great, I’ve managed to get the list displaying using a shortcode, based on the lon/lat of the post in question:

    $strShortcode = ‘[events_list limit=’ .$limit . ‘ near_distance=’ . $distance . ‘ near=”‘ . $lat . ‘,’ . $lon .'”]’;

    This list is using the modified ‘events-list.php‘ now moved to my child theme ‘plugins > events-manager > templates‘. As the list is being shown in a sidebar widget is there a way of swapping the content of the output, I suppose I’d like to edit the table itself and variables, but this events list is also being used on my main listing page, so I can’t edit one without breaking the other.

    if( get_option(‘dbem_css_evlist’) ) echo “<div class=’css-events-list’>”;
    echo EM_Events::output( $args );
    if( get_option(‘dbem_css_evlist’) ) echo “</div>”;
