Default WordPress index.php file

The index.php file is an essential file needed for a WordPress site to function. Without it, a WordPress installation will load to a blank white page and serve a 200 response. Here is the code below for the index.php file which can be used in cases of corruption.

<?php
/**
 * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
 * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 */
/**
 * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
 *
 * @var bool
 */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
?>
