Drupal 2025 : L’intégration de l’IA et les nouvelles fonctionnalités de gestion de contenu
The end of life of Drupal 7 has been extended until November 1, 2023. This was announced by the Drupal organization in February 2022.
The 9 series, released in June 2020, will have to be adopted by all Drupal users and followers by the time the 7 series expires.
If you are still using Drupal 7, consider migrating as soon as possible. Indeed, it is important to prepare for this last big migration. Esokia is able to help you make this transition serenely, as our digital agency includes certified developers with experience in Drupal technologies.
The expiration of Drupal 7 has already been postponed twice (at the time of writing this article). It was first scheduled for November 2021, then November 2022. There are several reasons for these postponements on the part of the Drupal Association. Notably, the impact of the health crisis on budgets and businesses and the fact that Drupal 7 is the most popular version of Drupal.
Since its release in January 2011, there are about 570,000 sites still using a version of Drupal 7. It has over 11,000 contributed modules, 200 distributions and 600 themes.
Being so widely used, the Drupal Association wants to give its users (including businesses, government agencies, educational institutions and NGOs) time to migrate and especially to provide the necessary support.
You can upgrade to Drupal 9 or choose another technology to migrate to. However, you should know that there are hundreds of new features waiting for you in Drupal 9. So why not take advantage of them?

As listed on its official website, Drupal 9 offers multiple advantages over Drupal 7, including:
