How to Prepare for a Smooth Drupal 11 Upgrade: Key Steps and Features
In a Dutch-language blog post, Jean-Paul Vosmeer of React Online outlines a detailed roadmap for upgrading to Drupal 11. He emphasises that upgrades from Drupal 10 are straightforward with regular maintenance, whereas sites on Drupal 7 require a complete rebuild, prompting a review of the site's structure and goals.
The post outlines a five-step upgrade process: module compatibility checks, setting up the environment with PHP 8.3, core upgrades, testing via OTAP environments, and a live release. Key Drupal 11 features include the Gin Admin Theme, Recipes, Single Directory Components, and Workspaces, designed to streamline content workflows and enhance usability for developers and editors.
Additional services include security modules like Seckit and Guardian, Redis caching, and two-factor authentication. While the post is client-focused and lacks broader performance analysis, it provides a clear, structured guide for organisations preparing for Drupal 10’s EOL in November 2026.
