FAQ

Understanding the Drupal 7 Migration

Common questions and answers for D7 migrations.

What is Acquia’s plan to support Drupal 7 customers?

Acquia is committed to support Drupal 7 users for as long as possible.

What is the impact of staying on Drupal 7 past the EOL date?

The impact of staying on Drupal 7 beyond the community’s end of life is the increasing risk of security issues. Now that the EOL date of Drupal 7 has passed, the community will no longer address potential or known security vulnerabilities which could put your Drupal 7 site at risk. The Drupal Association has also stopped support for unmaintained modules now that the D7 EOL has passed, which could result in a loss of functionality from contributed modules.

What are my Drupal 7 migration options?

There are a couple of options for your Drupal 7 sites. An organization can migrate to Drupal 10 or 11, or make their Drupal 7 site static. Your organization might also take this opportunity to explore modern, flexible headless solutions for your application with Acquia offerings.

What version of PHP does my Drupal site need to be on?

Drupal 7 supports a variety of PHP versions. PHP 7.4 is supported throughout the D7 ecosystem (but reached EOL on the Acquia Platform as of October 2023 – we are offered LTS support for D7 customers through October 2024 free of charge and now for an additional fee). PHP 8.1 is supported as of 7.92 and PHP 8.2 is supported as of 7.94. See supported versions on Drupal.org for more information. To move to Drupal 10, your organization must be running PHP 8.1 or higher.
