Drupal 7 End-of-Life: Prepare Your Migration to Ensure Site Security
l'Agence Webmarketing, a French 'Agence Experte Drupal,' has published a detailed blog post highlighting the impending end-of-life for Drupal 7, set for January 5, 2025. This marks a significant transition for websites using this version, as they will no longer receive security updates, new features, or community support.
The agency stresses the importance of migrating to newer Drupal versions, such as Drupal 9 or 10, which offer enhanced security, better performance, and new features like online editing and improved integrations. They advise starting with an audit of existing content and identifying custom modules that may not be compatible with newer versions.
Additionally, the agency supports testing compatibility and creating a dedicated testing environment. They emphasize planning the migration early to avoid increased complexity and costs, ensuring a smooth transition and long-term site maintenance.
