php - wordpress wp_query with redux option is not working -

i want have ability choose category theme option panel & ll show posts exact particular category.

so have setup wp_query this:

<?php $featured_rcp= $redux_imd['featured_rcp']; $catquery =  new wp_query(array( 'category' => $featured_rcp, 'posts_per_page' => 1 ));  while($catquery->have_posts()) : $catquery->the_post();  ?> 

& theme option panel code is:

'id' => 'featured_rcp', 'type' => 'select', 'data' => 'categories', 'multi' => true,  'title'  => __('recipe category.', 'imd'), 'subtitle'   => __('recipe category home page.', 'imd') 

but showing posts categories, not 1 select option panel. though posts per page working fine. i'm not versed in php, please 1 tell me i'm doing wrong here.

the category parameter of wp_query wrong, should cat or category_name, depending on type of value.

check out category parameters of wp_query , choose 1 need.
