I tried to 301 redirect contact form page URL to custom cms page URL with Magento 2's rewrites, but it does not seem to redirect the URL for some reason.
Is there some special trick to be done with contact form redirection?
Magento Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for users of the Magento e-Commerce platform. It only takes a minute to sign up.
Sign up to join this communityCreate a custom url rewrite in your admin.
Target path: custom-cms-url (without any slahes /)
Request path: contact
Make sure you have a cron job setup for reindexing and that the url rewrite was made for the correct store view.
You can use.htacess write following code
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.net/$1 [L,R=301,NC]
or you can do with admin panel also
1st -> go to admin -> marketing -> seo&search -> urlrewrite
change url according to your requirements
I would suggest overwriting contact form. To do that create a contact_index_index.xml
file in Your_Theme_Folder > Magento_Contact > layout
You can here add CMS block for example.
You can also overwrite template by creating a form.phtml
file in Your_Theme_Folder > Magento_Contact > templates
to edit the default form template.
With those two methods, you can fully overwrite the default contact page.
If you really want to use a CMS Page I think the best way is to disable contact us
feature in Configuration > Contacts > Contacts us
and disable contact us. Then create your CMS Page with the default contact url.
