Drupal core version 7 has reached end of life, 14 years after it's original release, and is no longer community supported on Drupal.org. This means that new releases of Drupal 7 core and contributed projects will no longer happen on Drupal.org and official community support is no longer provided.
More details about the end of life process are detailed in the official Public Security Advisory.
At time of writing, the latest version of Drupal is Drupal 11, the most robust and powerful version of Drupal yet, and coming very soon is Drupal CMS, built on top of Drupal 11 with a suite of carefully chosen additional features packaged to make Drupal easier than ever.
Hopefully, you have started your plan for life after Drupal 7, but if you are looking for direction, here are some paths you can take:
Extended Security Support for Drupal 7
If you plan on keeping your site running on Drupal 7, check out our Drupal 7 Extended Security Support Program, if you haven’t already.
Our D7 extended security support partners are ready to provide you with the support that you need!
Migration partners
On top of engaging an extended support partner, the Drupal Association has also created a list of certified migration partners for sites of all sizes. These partners can help you with your content strategy, audit your existing site, and help you through every step of the migration process to upgrade your site to modern Drupal.
Check out those who have already migrated!
Many folks have already migrated from Drupal 7, and you can find their stories on our case studies page.
Not migrating? Be sure to communicate with your users!
If migrating to a newer version or using extended support isn't feasible right now, it’s essential to notify your users of your security strategy. Make sure to inform your customers, managers, CISO, or other stakeholders about your plans for handling support and managing potential vulnerabilities. This transparency is important for maintaining trust and compliance!
