Drupal 7 End of Life Approaches: Morpht Shares Insights for Your Site’s Future

Drupal 7 will officially reach its end of life (EOL) on January 5, 2025, marking the end of support and security updates for this version. This milestone signals an urgent need for Drupal 7 site owners to consider their next steps to maintain security and compatibility. While sites won’t immediately fail, continued operation on Drupal 7 will expose them to growing security vulnerabilities and compatibility issues. Morpht, a Drupal service provider has shared an insightful blog post on the topic.

Upgrading from Drupal 7 isn’t straightforward; instead, it requires a full rebuild and migration. Morpht, a Drupal advocate, suggests this as a chance to rethink website structure, optimize content, and enhance user experience. For those considering their CMS options, simpler sites may explore platforms like WordPress, while complex, content-rich sites might still benefit from Drupal.

Morpht supports transitions with products like Convivial CXP and Convivial for GovCMS, offering a customizable, user-centric starting point. Additionally, Morpht provides data migration services, information architecture, and UX design to ensure a smooth transition, making this EOL a strategic opportunity to modernize and future-proof Drupal 7 sites.
