Shift8 Full Nav is a plugin that allows you to create a full width, sticky and responsive navigation menu. The plugin allows you to define key design options such as menu color, google fonts for menu options, overlay color (for mobile dropdown) and menu/overlay transparency and mobile menu trigger breakpoints.
This plugin will work with up to 3 levels of dropdown (parent, child, sub-child). It will also display a shopping cart icon and cart count if it detects you have Woocommerce installed. Lastly if you want to have a search dropdown, you can enable search and an icon will display with a search bar dropdown from the top navigation.

- Woocommerce compatibility
The shopping cart icon will automatically display if it detects that you have Woocommerce installed and activated. A simple cart icon with a cart count will be displayed
We now give you the option to display a search dropdown toggle area , right underneath the navigation bar. There are design options that will allow you to configure how this looks such as background color, font size, color, hover colors and whatnot. This is a quick and easy way to integrate search into your navigation.
