Supporting Drupal 7 Beyond EOL: Dropsolid’s Comprehensive Commitment to the Community
As of January 5, 2025, the Drupal 7 End-of-Life (EOL) has officially passed, marking the end of an era for a platform that has powered countless digital experiences for well over a decade. While many organizations have already migrated to newer versions of Drupal, thousands of mission-critical Drupal 7 sites are still in use. For these organizations, the challenge now is keeping their sites secure, stable, and compliant in a post-EOL world. At Dropsolid, we’ve taken on the responsibility of helping the Drupal community navigate this transition, ensuring that Drupal 7 sites can continue to thrive while organizations plan their next steps.
Our Mission: Safeguarding Drupal 7 Websites with Unparalleled Expertise
Our mission is simple: to safeguard Drupal 7 websites while continuing to contribute to the open-source ecosystem that has given us so much. We achieve this through a multifaceted approach that leverages our extensive assets and expertise.
Why Drupal 7 Still Matters
Supporting Drupal 7 beyond its official EOL date is critical. It ensures that organizations can continue to operate their websites safely while taking the time to plan their long-term digital strategies. Drupal 7 has empowered organizations of all sizes, from large enterprises to local nonprofits. Our goal is to ensure that these organizations don’t have to compromise on security or performance simply because they haven’t migrated yet.

Lessons Learned from the Drupal 7 Transition
The Drupal 7 EOL transition has been a learning experience for the entire community. We’ve learned that every organization’s journey is different. While some businesses are ready to migrate to Drupal 11 or a modern DXP, others need more time to plan their migration path. Community-driven support models are essential for ensuring that all Drupal users are cared for, regardless of their version. By working closely with other D7 Extended Support providers, the Drupal Security Team, and the Drupal Association, we’ve shared knowledge, coordinated security efforts, and ensured that Drupal 7 sites remain secure.
