Geeklog Summer of Code 2026: A New Wave of Development

Over the past 40 to 50 days, a remarkable amount of development has taken place around Geeklog.

What started as an effort to modernize a few plugins and improve compatibility with Geeklog 2.2.2 gradually became something much broader: updating important parts of the ecosystem, improving development practices, reviving major plugins and exploring new ways for Geeklog components to work together.

Borrowing the spirit — but not the official program — of Google Summer of Code, we could call this period our own:

Geeklog Summer of Code 2026.

This article is a snapshot of what has happened, what is already usable, what is currently under development, and why this may be a good time for developers and long-time Geeklog users to take another look at the project.

Menu 1.3.0 for Geeklog Is Now Available

Menu 1.3.0 for Geeklog is now available.

This new release brings a major modernization of the Menu plugin while preserving compatibility with existing Geeklog installations, menu structures and legacy rendering.

Menu 1.3.0 is designed for real-world use on existing sites, with support for Geeklog 2.1.1 through 2.2.2 and PHP 5.6 through 8.1. The release improves security, performance, administration, multisite support and integration with modern Geeklog themes.

The goal of Menu 1.3.0 is not to reinvent navigation or force existing sites into a new architecture.

The modernization has deliberately been conservative: preserve what already works, remove obsolete code, strengthen weak points and provide cleaner foundations for future development.

Existing menu structures, permissions, ordering and legacy rendering remain supported, while the internal architecture has been substantially cleaned up.
