For extra info on why not to use query_posts, check my answer here and the answer by @Rarst. You have another issue here, category_name does not accept the category name as value, … Read more
single.php template customization from a child theme: If the main theme you’re going to upgrade in future is not a child theme itself, then you can create your own child theme and create a single.php template file within the child theme to override the parent theme’s single.php. This way future upgrades of the parent theme … Read more
What is appearing at http://www.example.org/team-members/ is the ‘post type archive’ for your post type. It’s the automatically generated list of posts created by WordPress. If you don’t want the post type to have an archive you can disable the archive by setting the has_archive argument to false: register_post_type( ‘post_type_name’, array( ‘has_archive’ => false, ) ); … Read more

Use the pre_get_posts action to modify the query before it is run. Place this in your theme’s functions.php: function wpd_tax_alpha( $query ) { if ( $query->is_tax(‘link-category’) && $query->is_main_query() ) { $query->set( ‘orderby’, ‘title’ ); $query->set( ‘order’, ‘ASC’ ); } } add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘wpd_tax_alpha’ );
