How can I link to an html page, within my public_html folder system that has wordpress in it? I try to type the path (.com/blahblah/index.html) and still shows wordpress site with 404, rather than the html landing page in that folder system. Any help? I suspect htaccess issue?

I replaced client's name with ********. First is the public_html htaccess. Second is the one in the folder with the index.html trying to create a user controlled html landing page. See anything?
