Broken theme after 4.8.3 update

    I just updated to WordPress 4.8.3 to find that my custom parent theme is broken. It’s been a while since I’ve worked on it, so I’m not completely fresh on everything, but the error in WordPress is as follows:

    Template is missing. Standalone themes need to have a index.php template file. Child themes need to have a Template header in the style.css stylesheet.

    I don’t need the Template header in my stylesheet because this isn’t a child theme and my theme folder does have an index.php template in ~/www/website/wp-content/themes/theme/. I also tried reinstalling the latest WordPress and manually moving in my specific files, but the error remained.

    Has anyone else encountered this? Googling just points to the solution being the missing Template header in style.css.

    My style.css only contains the following headers:

    /*
Theme Name: Portfolio
Theme URI: http://www.website.com
Author: Author Name
Author URI: http://www.website.com
Description: Custom theme converted from Bootstrap template
Version: 1.1
*/

    Thanks in advance.
