 * Hi all
 * How would i change this code to display certain categories rather than special
   selected posts?
 *     ```
       //Slider 1 query
   
        $querydetails = "
        SELECT wposts.*
        FROM $wpdb->posts wposts, $wpdb->postmeta wpostmeta
        WHERE wposts.ID = wpostmeta.post_id
        AND wpostmeta.meta_key = 'pm_featured_post_1'
        AND wpostmeta.meta_value = '1'
        AND wposts.post_status = 'publish'
        AND wposts.post_type IN ('post', 'page')
        ORDER BY wposts.post_date DESC
        ";
       ```
   
 * I thought it would be using this:
    $query = new WP_Query( array( ‘category_name’
   => ‘xbox’ ) );
 * but not sure
    Apologies if i have posted in the wrong place.
 * Any help offered would be greatly appreciated
