When I load my existing PHP front-end in XAMPP I get nothing but a white screen. The browser console is silent, the PHP logs reveal almost nothing, and none of the assets appear to be loading. I need you to step through the code, discover the root cause—whether it’s a fatal error being swallowed, broken include paths, a missing build step, or something else entirely—apply the fix, and prove the project runs locally. The environment is XAMPP, and I’m not sure if any recent edits triggered the problem, so please assume a clean detective job. Once everything renders correctly, I’ll need a brief, step-by-step note (a few lines are plenty) describing how to get the project running on a fresh XAMPP install: folder placement, any composer/npm commands, required PHP extensions, and the launch command. A solid grasp of WordPress structure will help because this codebase is destined to become a custom theme or Gutenberg block, so any insights you notice while fixing it that could ease that migration are welcome. Deliverables: • Repaired codebase that renders as expected in XAMPP • Concise run instructions (README or similar) confirming the working setup If that sounds clear, let’s get the screen showing something other than blank white.
