Drupal 7 & Drupal 8 Support Coming To An End

If your website is still built on Drupal 7, it’s important to be aware that Drupal is ending support for it as of November 2022. This is a year’s extension on the original end date due to Covid.

If you’re on Drupal 8, it reached its end-of-life in November 2021. This is due to the Symfony 3 Framework coming to it’s end-of-life.

What Does This Mean For Your Website?

This will mean no more updates, bug fixes or security patches. This is going to leave it open to vulnerabilities, and issues.

If you’re wanting to stay on the Drupal platform, you will need to migrate to Drupal 9, with all that entails.

However, if you’re looking to migrate away from Drupal, and considering WordPress, have a read of our recent piece on why many businesses are making the move from Drupal to WordPress.

Whatever you choose, don’t leave your project too late. November 2021 has already passed us by. Although November 2022 seems a long way off, the average website project takes a good 3-4 months to complete. Make sure you’re prepared.
