Migration from theNewDynamic

Ananke moved to its own organisation on 23 April 2026. The repository changed from:

github.com/theNewDynamic/gohugo-theme-ananke

to:

github.com/gohugo-ananke/ananke

Both URLs still resolve for now, so existing sites keep building, but you should update your references so future updates come from the new location.

What changed #

  • Organisation and repository name changed as shown above.
  • Module path changed from github.com/theNewDynamic/gohugo-theme-ananke/v2 to github.com/gohugo-ananke/ananke/v2. The /v2 suffix is unchanged and still required.
  • Installation methods are unchanged. If you are installing fresh rather than migrating, follow Install as Hugo Module or Install as Git Submodule instead of this page.

Migrate a Hugo Module install #

Search your site configuration for the old module path and replace every instance of:

github.com/theNewDynamic/gohugo-theme-ananke/v2

with:

github.com/gohugo-ananke/ananke/v2

This usually appears in config/_default/module.toml (or your root configuration file) and in go.mod. After replacing it, update the module graph:

hugo mod get github.com/gohugo-ananke/ananke/v2
hugo mod tidy

Commit the updated go.mod and go.sum.

Migrate a Git submodule install #

Point the existing submodule at the new remote. From your site root:

cd themes/ananke
git remote set-url origin https://github.com/gohugo-ananke/ananke.git
cd ../..
git submodule sync

Then update the URL in the .gitmodules file at the root of your repository, replacing theNewDynamic/gohugo-theme-ananke with gohugo-ananke/ananke. Commit both .gitmodules and the updated submodule reference.

Confirm the theme is loaded #

After migrating with either method, verify the new path is in use and the site still builds.

For Hugo Modules, inspect the module graph — it should list github.com/gohugo-ananke/ananke/v2 and no longer mention theNewDynamic:

hugo mod graph

For both methods, build and serve the site locally:

hugo server

Open http://localhost:1313/. If the homepage renders with the hero header and styling, the theme is loaded correctly.

You can also confirm the merged configuration sees the theme:

hugo config | grep -i theme

Common failure cases #

  • module ... not found after migrating. The old path is still referenced somewhere. Search the whole project (including go.mod and go.sum) for theNewDynamic and replace it, then run hugo mod tidy again.
  • Submodule still points at the old remote. Run git submodule sync after editing .gitmodules, and check with git config --file .gitmodules --get-regexp url.
  • Styling missing after migration. Clear Hugo’s caches and rebuild: hugo --gc (Modules) or delete resources/_gen and rebuild. See Troubleshooting.
  • Build still uses the old version. For Modules, run hugo mod get -u github.com/gohugo-ananke/ananke/v2 to force an update, then hugo mod tidy.

For anything else, ask in GitHub Discussions.
