The RewriteRule ^contact$ contact.php rule works fine, but only as long as I don't have the rewrite rules which wordpress has which is:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

I want to allow to have the above rule, aswell as allowing contact.php to be renamed to contact.

Here is the one which DOESN'T work:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^contact$ contact.php
