                            <div class="listing-attributes">
                                <span class="category"><?php echo osc_item_category(); ?></span> -
                                <span class="location"><?php echo osc_item_city(); ?> <?php if (osc_item_region() != '') { ?> (<?php echo osc_item_region(); ?>)<?php } ?></span> <span class="g-hide">-</span> <?php echo osc_format_date(osc_item_pub_date()); ?>

The above example is for bender theme and you need to match your theme structure to have a proper display of the items. In the above code, we only filter by category but you can include other filters available in this function.

Category and user:

​<?php
osc_query_item(array(
    "category" => "1",
    "author" => "12" //user id
));
?>
<?php if (osc_count_custom_items() > 0) { ?>
    <div class="latest_ads">
        <?php while (osc_has_custom_items()) { ?>
        .........
        <?php } ?>
    </div>
<?php } ?>

Only region:

​<?php
osc_query_item(array(
    "region_name" => "alabama"
));
?>
<?php if (osc_count_custom_items() > 0) { ?>
    <div class="latest_ads">
        <?php while (osc_has_custom_items()) { ?>
        .........
        <?php } ?>
    </div>
<?php } ?>

You can combine any filter to display items, if any item will match the filters you will have results.
