Remove "or Create An Account" from BigCommerce Sign In link but preserve Sign In/Sign Out functionality
//the next few lines strip "or Create an Account" from the log-in menu option
//I usually set the overall navigation to display:none; in my CSS if I know js is enabled
//I use Modernizr and check for the js class on the <html> tag with the style selector for my menu
//like: .js #navigation { display: none; }
//You'll want to add a class or ID to the <div> containing the log-in/log-out link
//usual output (with added ID):
//<li>
// <div id="log_in_options">
// <a onclick="" href="[url]">Sign in</a> or <a onclick="" href="[url]">Create an account</a>

ericrallen / config.ru
Created October 11, 2013 02:15
Commented out one line from the config.ru found at https://gist.github.com/brianpattison/4129846 because it was preventing CSS and JS from loading on my local WordPress sites.
# config.ru for Pow + Wordpress, based on http://stuff-things.net/2011/05/16/legacy-development-with-pow/
# added hackery to work around wordpress issues - Patrick Anderson (patrick@trinity-ai.com)
# clearly this could be cleaner, but it does work
require 'rack'
require 'rack-legacy'
require 'rack-rewrite'
# patch Php from rack-legacy to substitute the original request so
# WP's redirect_canonical doesn't do an infinite redirect of /
