Creating a Custom Timer Design

There are two recommended approaches.

Method 1: CSS Styling

Keep the existing timer HTML and customize the design with CSS.

.my-custom-timer {
    background: #111;
    color: #fff;
    padding: 15px;
    border-radius: 8px;
}

.my-custom-timer .dp-time {
    font-size: 28px;
    font-weight: 700;
}

Recommended when:

• Only changing colors
• Changing typography
• Changing spacing
• Adding animations

Method 2: Replace Entire Timer Template

Use:

wpext_dealpulse_timer_html

to return your own HTML structure.

Example

add_filter(
    'wpext_dealpulse_timer_html',
    function ( $html, $campaign ) {

        ob_start();
        ?>

        <div class="my-flash-sale-timer">

            <div class="headline">
                Flash Sale
            </div>

            <div class="counter">
                <?php echo $html; ?>
            </div>

        </div>

        <?php

        return ob_get_clean();

    },
    10,
    2
);

This allows developers to build:

• Card-style timers
• Banner timers
• Sticky timers
• Floating timers
• Full-width promotional bars

            return '🔥 ' . $output;
        }
