How can i show "search bar" in side menu ?

Hi imdreamer,

With current version you can’t put a search bar on menu. I am working on an upgrade where I will add option to add search bar to menu.

Regarding the blank space can you share you website url so that i can check.

Thanks

While the upgrade of this great plugin comes out, I found a way to insert the WordPress search form inside the menu…

Go to ‘wp-responsive-menu.php’ and call the WordPress search form inside the wprmenu_menu function (line 48). Adding <?php get_search_form(); ?> before the <ul> tags.

So you just have to change this specific code:

<ul id="wprmenu_menu_ul">
	<?php
	$menus = get_terms('nav_menu',array('hide_empty'=>false));
	if($menus) : foreach($menus as $m) :
		if($m->term_id == $options['menu']) $menu = $m;
	endforeach; endif;
	if(is_object($menu)) :
		wp_nav_menu( array('menu'=>$menu->name,'container'=>false,'items_wrap'=>'%3$s'));
	endif;
	?>
</ul>

For this:

<div id="search-form">
    <?php get_search_form(); ?>
</div>
<ul id="wprmenu_menu_ul">
	<?php
	$menus = get_terms('nav_menu',array('hide_empty'=>false));
	if($menus) : foreach($menus as $m) :
		if($m->term_id == $options['menu']) $menu = $m;
	endforeach; endif;
	if(is_object($menu)) :
		wp_nav_menu( array('menu'=>$menu->name,'container'=>false,'items_wrap'=>'%3$s'));
	endif;
	?>
</ul>

If you want the search-bar to be on the bottom of the menu, just put the <?php get_search_form(); ?> after the </ul> tag

Hi imdreamer,

Update the plugin to latest version and it should all be fine.
