Malicious files can be uploaded to server (Note: Attacker can upload malicious file in pdf or any format and upload it to server which can have very bad impact on server.
I'm trying to figure out why my image map isn't working. I created a custom Image block on my site and I'm quite sure there is nothing wrong with the html in fact when I inspect the image with google chrome the link actually works but if I close inspect nothing happens and when I hover the mouse over the mapped area the mouse doesn't even show that it's clickable. I dunno if there is a setting within drupal that might be effecting this please help!!
Recently I'm finding Drupal's major release is being narrower.
Previously D5 was released on 2007 and EOL was on 2011, life of 4 years.
D7 was released on 2011 and supposed EOL was 2021 (without the expectation of COVID). Life of 10 years. Since D7 was supported for longer time, it has most of the compatible modules and themes. As a user I need a lot of modules since drupal core doesn't have all the feature I need.
My website loading time is somewhat high and also it has some other issues. I have heard that drupal websites are far lighter and thus faster too.
Is it possible to convert my website to Drupal? If I can convert it so please also suggest some help on how I can convert it.
Moreover, do I need to hire some expert or I can do it myself?
