I wanted to add some extra text in my contact us form page (Default Magento). I googled it out and found this tutorial. When I tried to go to that path, I couldn't find that file. Does anybody know what the reason is behind it?
Check it in your custom theme's template folder if you don't have contacts folder over there then its in your base/default/template folder.
If thats the case copy it inside your custom theme folder as well as copy also the contacts.xml to your custom theme folder to ensure the theme fallback.
