Missing Blank Site Template in SharePoint 2013

When settings up site collectons, many use the Blank Site Template.
But in SharePoint 2013 no Blank Site Template.




















Solution:

Run the command Get-SPWebTemplate to get the full list of the available templates.
Blank Site template ID is STS#1.










Go to folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\1033\XML ,and open the WEBTEMP.XML file. There, you'll find a link like this.





Just change the Hiden="TRUE" to Hiden="FALSE"

Next time you want to create a new site, you'll get the Blank Site Template.




















This is for English Language pack, for other Language choose diferent folder of  "1033"  C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\1033\XML
E.g. For Serbian (Latin) Language pack is "2074".
