Drupal 7 Users Urged to Embrace Modern Features
Bounteous recently shared a blog post titled "The Evolution of Drupal: Discover the Features D7 Users Are Missing Out On" by Scott Weston. This blog post serves as a wake-up call to Drupal 7 users, highlighting the rapid evolution of the platform and the need to keep pace with modern digital requirements.
At DrupalCon North America in June 2023, the Drupal Association dropped a significant bombshell by announcing an extension of support for Drupal 7. Originally slated to end in November 2023, Drupal 7's support has now been stretched for an additional 15 months, pushing the retirement date to January 2025.
While this extension might bring temporary relief to organizations still reliant on Drupal 7, the message from Bounteous is clear: don't wait to migrate. With Drupal 7 celebrating its 14th birthday in January 2025, it's essential to recognize the seismic shifts that have occurred in the digital landscape over the past decade.
Drupal 7, despite minor updates during its lifetime, remained largely static in terms of core features since the release of Drupal 8 in November 2015. As a result, it can be considered a functional relic. Organizations clinging to Drupal 7 are missing out on a slew of innovations introduced in subsequent Drupal versions.
In an era where digital presence plays a pivotal role in business success, embracing the latest Drupal features is not merely an option; it's a strategic imperative.
For organizations still on Drupal 7, the time for transformation is now. The full blog post by Scott Weston delves deeper into the exciting possibilities of modern Drupal.
