Behind every WordPress website is PHP – the scripting language responsible for processing requests, generating pages, and powering everything from contact forms to online shops. While it’s largely invisible to visitors, PHP plays a critical role in how secure, fast, and reliable your website is.
At O’Brien Media, we’ve designed our website support agreements to make sure your site gets the attention it deserves—without the stress or unpredictable costs.
If you have a website built on Drupal 7 it’s important to stay informed about the latest security news. The Drupal Security Team recently published a Public Service Announcement (PSA) regarding potential vulnerabilities in Drupal 7, which is reaching the end of it’s life.
As of 5 January 2025, Drupal 7 will officially reach its end of life (EOL), bringing over 14 years of service to a close. This milestone signifies the cessation of community support, security updates, and official maintenance for Drupal 7. Website owners and administrators using Drupal 7 must act promptly to ensure their sites remain secure and functional.
Drupal 7 was first released in January 2011. In November 2021, after over a decade, Drupal 7 will reach end of life (EOL). Official community support for version 7 will end, along with support provided by the Drupal Association on Drupal.org. This means that automated testing services for Drupal 7 will be shut down, and there will be no more updates provided by the Drupal Security Team.
It’s been a while since the last Drupal Core update was released (back in April) but it’s now time, once again, to install a Drupal Core update to keep your Drupal websites secure.
