Drupal 7 was released in 2011. It is a landmark version of the powerful CMS that has helped build the digital presence of hundreds of thousands of organizations. While this legacy version still serves the needs of many, the next generation of the Drupal CMS (versions 8/9/10) fundamentally changed the technology used by the product.
The Drupal project has extended support for version 7 until at Jan 5, 2025. Drupal project will not continue to maintain both the legacy and the modern versions of Drupal after EOL.
In order to ensure that our existing community of Drupal 7 site owners is not left behind, this initiative aims to create resources and tools to assist them to prepare for what comes next. The main drive is to help move these legacy sites to a modern solution, that is supported for longer.
