Hi everybody,
I recently set up a contact page on my site. I put a link on my menu bar for the contact form by following these steps:
1.Go to Structure > Menus
2.Click "list links" for the Navigation menu
3.Click "edit" for the menu item "Contact"
4.Select the "enable" checkbox
5.Change the "Parent link" to "Main menu"
6.Click "Save"
My trouble is that I am trying to put a Block on that contact page so that I can have some texts there but it's not showing up. The block shows up on every other page though. Any suggestions out there? What have I been doing wrong?? Any suggestions?

Check the options for "Show
Check the options for "Show block on specific pages: " in block configuration page.
Are you using different theme for contact us page ?
I have
Hi Alakesh,
I have been playing around with the "Show block on specific pages" for a while. Even when I select the option to have the block display on every page it will display on every page except for the contact page. I am not using a different theme for the contact page.
Could the issue have something to do with the fact that the 'Contact Us' page is technically not a page but a contact form?
Please only post to relevant groups or issue queues
Hi Meeks,
Please remove the Views Developers tag from this post. It has nothing to do with Views and is not Developer level.
In general it's better to post to specific issue queues for relevant modules, e.g. Contact form and/or Blocks after reading the documentation and searching for similar issues.
Best wishes,
Andy

Edit original post
Sorry I meant remove the "Views Developer" group rather than tag.
Edit the original post and untick the group under 'Audience'.
Even the Washington DC group may not be particularly appropriate. Local groups like this are really for discussing issues specific to the local group, e.g. local Meetups, DrupalCamps, etc. But I'm London based, so I'm not going to dictate the etiquette of your regional group!
When I referred to posting on module issue queues, I meant reposting on the relevant modules on http://drupal.org/project/Modules, not just updating tags on this post. In general Groups.Drupal is more useful for general background discussion, rather than fixing problems with specific functionality.
Webforms might be the best option
I am pretty new to Drupal, but since the Webforms module is displayed in blocks, your best option might be to use a Webform instead of the core Contact Us page, then you can structure the page with whatever blocks you want and the one you need should show up.
I think it may be related to the "Contact Us" page being part of the core offering of Drupal, so it may have built in restrictions to the page layout that overrides any Theme level display.
Hope that helps.
I can back this up because it

The module is simple and just
The module is simple and just builds up a form at /contact so I think that is why the blocks are not being shown. This could be wrong but honestly the above solution will work and will give you some extra config options.
If webforms is to much for what you need then you could try and use context or write a theme file but personally webforms is easy to learn so I'd use it anyway since it's easier and useful.
