In a recent blog post, Luisanny Carrasco of weKnow offers guidance on when Drupal site owners should consider upgrading, based on the version they’re running. While the section on Drupal 7 refers to its end-of-life as a future event, pointing to a previously published announcement, support officially ended in January 2025. The post reinforces the urgency for sites on Drupal 8 and 9 to migrate, as both are already unsupported, and encourages proactive planning for those on Drupal 10 to adopt Drupal 11 in due course. The message throughout is clear: timely upgrades are key to ensuring security, stability, and long-term compatibility.
