Drupal 10 Support Coming To An End

If you are on Drupal 10, only the latest minor version, 10.6.17, is still supported for a few more months, but it will come to its end of life in December 2026.

If you are on Drupal 9, it reached its end-of-life in November 2023. This was in part due to the Symfony 4 Framework coming to it’s end-of-life.

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

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

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 11, with all that entails.

• If you are making a major jump from Drupal 7, this will involve a full migration due to the major changes in infrastructure since then.
• If you are updating from 8 or 9 to 11, you will need to do this sequentially, so 8 to 9, the 9 to 10, and then 10 to 11.
• Minor updates, like 11.3 to 11.4 are much simpler.

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. December 2026 is just a few months away, so make sure you’re prepared.
