Magento 1 – Change contacts page URL in Magento

Almost Magento’s default contact us form page URL is a little bit awkward as its says http://www.domain.om/contacts/.
We can change this easily by creating a small module.

Step 1:
First of all Create a file in app/etc/modules/Magtuts_Contacts.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Magtuts_Contacts>
            <active>true</active>
            <codePool>local</codePool>
        </Magtuts_Contacts>
    </modules>
</config>

Step 2:
Create the config file in app/code/local/Magtuts/Contacts/etc/config.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Magtuts_Contacts>
            <version>0.0.1</version>
        </Magtuts_Contacts>
    </modules>
    <frontend>
        <routers>
            <contacts>
                <use>standard</use>
                <args>
                    <module>Mage_Contacts</module>
                    <frontName>contact-us</frontName>
                </args>
            </contacts>
        </routers>
    </frontend>
</config>

After that you will upload all files and clear the cache. Therefore the default Magento url changed to new one. The new URL will be http://www.domain.com/contact-us/

Alternative:

This has been answered on StackOverflow, I’ll quote:

1. In the Catalog menu click on URL Rewrite Management.
2. Click the Add URL Rewrite button.
3. Choose to add a Custom type.
4. Enter “contacts” for ID Path and Target Path.
5. Enter “contact-us” for the Request Path.
6. Click the Save button.
