Like I said in the previous comment, it only works for module routes. I assume contact is one of your custom pages (unless you are talking about the contacts module). It does not work the same for pages. Because Magento does not know you are linking to a page, nor does it keep track of the changed url keys of static pages. You can use the widgets for links but I guess this is even worse because widgets use page ids which are not protable {{widget type="cms/widget_page_link" anchor_text="some text here" title="some title here" template="cms/widget/link/link_block.phtml" page_id="52"}}

I see, what if you use <a href="{{store url="contact"}}">Contact Us</a> and later change the url for your contact page? Will the correct url still be generated?

If you change the customer module route from customer to client (see here how), using the {{store}} directives will automatically generate the correct url. So you are safe. It does NOT work the same for direct_url.

| Jul 31, 2014 at 10:35 | comment | added | Holly | I thought there might be a way of linking to the customer/account page without using the url path so that inncase the url path was ever changed for the for the customer/account to say client/account the links would not break | |
