This fabulous plugin has been developed by <a href="http://www.yudiz.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Yudiz Solutions Ltd.</a> WP Widget Navigation plugin helps you to add widgets to your menu very easily and rapidly.
How to use this plugin?
Follow the below steps:
<ol>
<li>Install and activate the plugin.</li>
<li>After successful activation, it will generate one custom widget area for you where you can add as many widgets as you want to use them in the menu. The widget area is labeled as “Widgets in navigation menu”.</li>
<li>Add the widgets to this widget area.</li>
<li>Now, you are ready to move to the menu from Appearance -> Menus. You need to hover over the menu item and you will find “widget” settings button there. Then click on it and you will get on modal with all the widgets that you have added to the defined widget area. Select all the widget options that you want to display in your menu and finally click on “add to menu” button on the bottom right.</li>
<li>You can now go to the front and check the menu.</li>
</ol>
The idea behind the development of the plugin: 
We usually have a search bar in the menu and such functionality is not provided by all wordpress themes. So we thought why not create one such plugin to add such a widget to the navigation menu.
Hope you find this plugin useful. <a href="http://www.yudiz.com/get-in-touch/" rel="nofollow ugc">Contact us</a> if you want to develop such custom wordpress plugin.

WP Widget in Navigation

Uses the native <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_nav_menu" rel="nofollow ugc">wp_nav_menu()</a>. Add parameters to the wp_nav_menu() to enable functionality. 
Also, ships with one-click delete menu-items in the WordPress admin. Turned off or on using the screen-options. Sweet.
Examples
This will get the first sub-menu from the active branch and 2 levels beyond (menu + sub-menu + sub-menu):
<pre><code>wp_nav_menu( array(
 'level' => 2,
 'depth' => 3
));
</code></pre>
Show the current branch only:
<pre><code>wp_nav_menu( array(
 'level' => 1
));
</code></pre>
Aimed on simple use in various use cases:
<pre><code>// display first level in the header
wp_nav_menu( array(
 'depth' => 1
));

// display first sub-menu from the current branch somewhere else
wp_nav_menu( array(
 'depth' => 2,
 'level' => 2
));
</code></pre>
Another feature is it’s control over the css classes that are given to a menu-item. You might be faced with css selectors 
which you cannot change. The ‘codepress_menu_filter_classes’ filter can be used in your functions.php to set the class property:
<pre><code>/**
 * Change the classes of a menu item
 *
 * @param array $classes List current classes
 * @param object $item Current menu item
 * @param array $items Current list of items (per level)
 * @param integer $k Key of the current item in $items
 */
function codepress_menu_item_classes( $classes, $item, $items, $k ) {
 // mark the first item
 if ( reset( $items ) == $items[ $k ] )
 $classes[] = 'first';

 // mark the last item
 if ( end( $items ) == $items[ $k ] )
 $classes[] = 'last';

 // map the WordPress default 'current-menu-item' class to 'active'
 if ( in_array( 'current-menu-item', $classes ) )
 $classes[] = 'active';

 return $classes;
}
add_filter( 'codepress_menu_item_classes', 'codepress_menu_item_classes', 10, 4 );
</code></pre>
Simple Menu Delete
It ships with one-click delete menu-items within WordPress. 
This functionality was integrated from our Simple Menu Delete plugin and enhanced a bit:
<ul>
<li>Turned off or on using the screen-options.</li>
<li>Display is more in line with WordPress’s way of delete-links.</li>
<li>Works exactly the same now as the nested delete-link which is a click further inside the menu item.</li>
</ul>

Codepress Menu

Allows you to display a sub-menu, it's depth from there on and gives you control over the menu-item classes.
