Hello everyone!
I am trying to edit the Joomla! contact page so that the Miscellaneous information displayed in the contact page so that it appears before the contact form and is skimmed from some HTML tags.
I am unable to locate it in the Joomla! folders and also I am unable to find out where I should save it within my template.
Could anyone please advise?
Thanks in advance

1. you whould use "extra fields" capability of joomla to add more fields.

2. If you really want to edit the joomla contact forum - see their docs.

No, I am sayin gthat editing the Joomla contact form (as it's a part of Joomla and not the template) requires you to read the Joomla sdocumentation on this subject. Also, if it's extra fields that you want on the form then Joomla has inbuilt "extra fields" functionality to add those without having to resort to coding.

Thanks, but I don't need to add extra fields, I need to modify the contact page as it is displayed.
I will figure out where the file is in Joomla!, but I didn't find where I should add the file in the template as I don't want to modify Joomla!.

If all you want to do is restyle thing sthen you can do that with custom scss. If you still want to create a layout override...

Oh, I see, sorry... I am incredibly rusty with Joomla! (the last time I used it, you were still having a previous version of Gantry).
It has nothing to see with the template overrides, as it's not about how Gantry manages these overrides, it is about how Joomla! needs Gantry to manage them.
Thanks!

Gantry does nothing with the contact form and doesn't manage anything. The contact form is part of Joomla and changes to it need making in Joomla (via overrides) - nothing to do with Gantry.
