Check category_name or taxonomy slug for a Custom Post Type?

If you’re actually using categories (and not a custom taxonomy) then your $categoryname variable needs to be the slug, not the actual name. Admittedly this Wp_Query argument name is confusing.

If, however, you are using a custom taxononomy (and you’ll know if you are) then you should use 

'name-of-your-custom-tax' => 'slug'

instead.
