page-sitemap.xml : page not found

I have the same problem, but noticed after a while taht it was indexing correctly. BUT in the meantime I had deactivate XML Sitemap function of WordPress SEO.
Anyway, I compared to what I was getting using Google XML Sitemaps. Google is indexing every page/post proposed this way much quicker !

All what’s missing are the images. I don’t know how much this can be helpful, since Google indexed 53 of 155 and I can’t check which one are those 53 images…

Solved! Today my sitemap is working! I don’t know how or how many

No more errors in Webmaster tools ?

I’m facing the same problem for my site https://www.invoicingsoftware.biz

https://www.invoicingsoftware.biz/page-sitemap.xml page not found.

Please help. I’m running WordPress 3.5.1 and WordPress SEO 1.4.4

Google XML Sitemap works if you want to have some sitemap while waiting for this plugin to be fixed. I didn’t find any better solution :/

It started working fine and again on 4/2 started giving me the 500!! Hope Yoast looks into this immediately

I have the same issue … Its weird … support please …

No news on this yet?

I keep getting this error on /page-sitemap.xml for my site https://adondeirhoy.com

Network unreachable: Network unreachable
HTTP Error: 500

@rickyprice
Looks like you have “Google Sitemap Generator Plugin for WordPress” by Arne Brachhold installed and active (Great plugin and best option for W3TC preload function)
That’s probably the reason for your server returning the 500 internal error message
Delete the other plugin or off the Yoast plugin sitemap option – Should fix the problem

This is what I have got:
The button in the plugin directs me to:
mysite.com/index.php/sitemap_index.xml
However the xml file can be found in
mysite.com/sitemap_index.xml

same issue for page sitemap

I put that in my .htacess and everything started to work fine.

@webriots solution above might work for people that have issues, if not, please open a separate thread describing your issue.

did not work will create separate thread

I was having the same problem… sitemap_index.xml 404 Page not found error inside the Yoast WordPress SEO plugin.

To correct the issue…

1. Go to WordPress Dashboard >> SEO >> XML Sitemap

2. Uncheck the “Check this box to enable XML sitemap functionality” box

3. Click “Save Settings”

4. Check the “Check this box to enable XML sitemap functionality” box gain

5. Click “Save Settings”

6. Click the “You can find your XML Sitemap here:” button. Hopefully, your sitemap will appear in a new tab without the 404 page not found error

Seems like you have to reset the XML Sitemap. Hope this helps.

When I follow the steps outlined in the immediately preceding message, I still get a big pink warning box that says,

================================

This page contains the following errors:

error on line 7 at column 6: XML declaration allowed only at the start of the document
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

What am I doing wrong?
