Drupal 7 Sites Officially Offline Starting September 12, 2025

Posted:

Due to discontinued support, we must depreciate all Drupal 7 template sites by September 12, 2025. After this date, Drupal 7 sites will no longer be online and will generate an error 404 message (page/site not found). Even if you have started your site migration, if your new site is not live by the deadline, you will not have a web presence under the buffalostate.edu domain.

If an office, center, area, or initiative still using a Drupal 7 template wants to move to the new look, that migration must be done manually by the site manager. Please file a ticket to initiate migration to the new template. Server space is limited due to shrinking budgets, so a recommended alternative to moving is to shut down any outdated, unused, or low-traffic Drupal 7 site. If you wish to shut down a site now, please file a ticket.

Sites that are not migrated in time will automatically be shut down and no longer available online or archived once Drupal 7 is sunsetted by our web host. 

Because we support campus users with any transition to a new product, Drupal 10 training is required and provided virtually by Dan Schmidt, associate director of web development. Details are discussed during the ticket process.

Questions about the migration process or the new template may be directed to Melissa Meehan, web director, Marketing and Communications.
