Comment:

 `link` remains a [https://codex.wordpress.org/Reserved_Terms reserved term
 in WordPress] due to the link manager. Registering a post type with this
 name is expected to cause some strange behavior, especially if the Link
 Manager is active.

 Instead of link, I recommend giving the post type a prefix; eg
 `manfcarlo_link`.

 I'm inclined to close this as I don't think allowing the use of reserved
 terms is something that can be fixed.
