Delete link doesn’t work

    Hi,

    clicking the delete link for an Active URL doesn’t remove the URL from the list. I believe this is because there’s no _edit_link index specified in the following call to register_post_type():

    protected function postTypes() {
	register_post_type($this->postTypeId,
		array(
			'labels'              => array(
				'name'               => __('Autoload URL', 'icwoo'),
			),
			'public'              => false,
			'exclude_from_search' => true,
			'hierarchical'        => false,
			'has_archive'         => false,
			'show_in_nav_menus'   => false,
			'supports'            => array('title')
		)
	);		
}

    Consequently, in WordPress’s get_delete_post_link() function, the post ID isn’t added to the link. For wp_post_type ‘post’, for example, _edit_link is post.php?post=%d. Is this something to do with user capabilities? Do I need to add a user capability to edit posts with type ‘icwoo-url’?

    Thanks,

    Tommy

    On further inspection it looks like the issue is due to this snippet from `set_props()’ in class_wp_post_type.php:

    // If there's no specified edit link and no UI, remove the edit link.
if ( ! $args['show_ui'] && ! $has_edit_link ) {
	$args['_edit_link'] = '';
}

    the show_ui index takes the value from public, which is false, so the edit link is set to ”. Can you suggest a workaround?
