When I go to generate our sitemaps I get the following error:

http://johnderuiter.com/sitemap_index.xml

Thanks Tahir, we would prefer to use the existing SEO by Yoast plugin, as our site is aleady slowing down and I can't afford to install more plugins unless absolutely needed.  Do you happen to know what might be using the conflict?  We have other sites with the plugin install and a different theme, and everything is fine, leading me to think there is a conflict with Salient?

Thanks!

Hi,

I had the same problem. I always got the 404 error page when I tried to access the /sitemap_index.xml. I´m using the WordPress SEO plugin from Yoast.

i´ve deactivated all plugins, but no change. I also used the .htaccess hack from http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-... But that also didn´t work.

But then I deactivated the child theme and activated the salient theme. Suddenly I could see the sitemap. Afterwards I reactivated the child theme and it still worked.

I hope this helps you along.
