Override custom menu widget

Ok, here we go. I extended the default Navigation widget for you. Add this to your themes functions file. After you have done this, go to widgets in your dashboard and you will see a widget called ‘Matt Royal Custom Menu’ now. Use this one.

In the below code, the div class has been added as you have specified and you can use any arguments in the wp_nav_menu( $args ) function. You can find all arguments you can pass to it on the WordPress Codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_nav_menu

// MattRoyal Custom Navigation Menu widget class

     class Royal_Nav_Menu_Widget extends WP_Widget {

        function Royal_Nav_Menu_Widget() {
            $widget_ops = array( 'description' => __('Add a custom menu to your sidebar.') );
            parent::__construct( 'nav_menu', __('Matt Royal Custom Menu'), $widget_ops );
        }

        function widget($args, $instance) {
            // Get menu
            $nav_menu = ! empty( $instance['nav_menu'] ) ? wp_get_nav_menu_object( $instance['nav_menu'] ) : false;

            if ( !$nav_menu )
                return;

            /** This filter is documented in wp-includes/default-widgets.php */
            $instance['title'] = apply_filters( 'widget_title', empty( $instance['title'] ) ? '' : $instance['title'], $instance, $this->id_base );

            echo $args['before_widget'];

            if ( !empty($instance['title']) )
                echo $args['before_title'] . $instance['title'] . $args['after_title'];
