@binarywc – you are correct!

I created a new install of WordPress on a test URL and installed only the caching plugin. Made all of the configurations I made to my production site and found that it had no impact on the .htaccess redirect.

So I’ll troubleshoot my site and figure out why I have this unusual scenario taking place.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

This issue is that even though I defined an alternate index page in my .htaccess, when I add a caching plugin it ignores this redirect.

So if the plugin is not enabled – then my alternate index page works, but the moment I activate the plugin then it ignores the request and reverts back to the default index.php page.

This seems to be the case for most caching plugins I researched but I might be mistaken which is why I wanted to ask the question here.

I really want caching, but then I also need to define an index page other than the /index.php that is my current default.

Thanks again!
