I think I have http://www.jbstockimages.com/sitemap_index.xml running again.
I had to change themes, to the Twenty Thirteen. There sitemap_index.xml was found again. Switching back to Symbio theme it worked with that theme also. Strange but also frustrating!
Hope that this solves my 10-20 site impressions. Doubt it though!
your sitemap is still showing up as blank — did you check the box to enable sitemaps? did you make any changes on the other yoast pages? (most can be left at the defaults)

I flip themes, back to Twenty Thirteen and then everything works again. Switching back to Symbiostock 2.9.4 seems good until I do a Ctrl-F5 refresh.
First I gave the blame to my Child-theme but the same happens to the official 2.9.4 and the Symbiostock child 0.01.To be short, with the Twenty Twelve and Twenty Thirteen theme I can do a F5 and a Ctrl-F5 on http://www.jbstockimages.com/sitemap_index.xml
If I use a Symbiostock (child) theme a Ctrl-F5 the sitemap_index.xml turns blank and Google Webmaster gives me a 500 error.
Is this a Symbiostock theme bug?

I am on 2.9.4 and symbiostock child theme 0.1 and do not see the issue. Very strange though.

Guys,
I need some help here. My pages are never going to found with sitemap_index.xml
Ctrl-F5 turns it into a blank page, see post#18, but now I noticed it also turns blank after about a half hour. Google Webmaster returns an error 500 when it shows a blank page.I am having horrible site impressions and this could be a reason.
I have tried about everything I can think of and am thinking of filing a Symbiostock bug report. But where can I do that?
It is difficult to help as I don’t have a clue – I just did a site search and came up with quite a few images so you are being found somehow

These are the bits that self-generate in the Post Types area of Yeost for me – no idea if it helps you or not

http://nail-art-at.kerioak.com - Art and Nail ArtThanks Christine,
I have the same as you.
I have just closed down Yoast XML. Utterly fed-up with it. It just started to submit 1 image to Google, with 0 indexed. And then, puff, sitemap_index.xml page is blank again. Have a feeling that months of indexing is lost.
Thankfully symbiostock_image_sitemap.xml still works.
I have Google XML Sitemaps working now since yesterday but it’s still Pending. Hope this does a good job!

first, you don’t lose months of indexing — once indexed, google keeps checking those pages
but there’s something wrong with how you’ve set up yoast
http://www.jbstockimages.com/sitemap_index.xml should produce an xml file — instead it gives a truncated html page — that would be why it’s ‘blank’ when submitted to google which expects an xml
another thing to check is that permalinks are set to ‘post’
—
haven’t used google xml — just make sure it indexes both pages & images

I only use Yoast with default. Permalinks are set to ‘post’.
Yoast does produce a xml file but using all Symbiostock themes it turns to blank within an half hour or if you use Ctrl-F5. Ctrl-F5 has no affect at all when using other themes.
When it produces an XML then Google WT has no problems, when there is a blank, HTML, page WT gives a error 500.
So when the cache refreshes it’s gone.I am afraid that I didn’t notice this error for a long time.
but your xml ISNT blank- it’s some other html code, but with no html/body — it starts by listing your categories
that’s what I saw when I first looked at it, and it’s still that way now
also yoast produces a series of different xmls — are you sure you haven’t turned some of them OFF? eg, under exclude taxonomies

How do you see that the xml isn’t blank? I did an ‘Inspect Element’ and view source on http://www.jbstockimages.com/sitemap_index.xml, I can only see, well nothing.
I have read hundreds of threads now about blank xml pages and left without a solution.
I do know that with the the default WP themes I have no problems but as soon I switch to Symbiostock I have a blank xml page again.I have another site where Yoast xml works fine and I copied the settings to make sure Yoast is not the problem.
All ideas are welcome.
when I just paste that address into my browser today I get the blank screen, and ‘view source’ shows a unformed html page that starts:
============
<PARAM
name=”tabId”
value=”{395F100E-13D2-44C6-BFE3-BFE6C1D2EB41}”>however I don’t have that index page as part of my yoast sitemap. when I look for the filenames I do have on your site I get:
http://www.jbstockimages.com/image-sitemap1.xml shows 222 urls
and
http://www.jbstockimages.com/image-tags-sitemap.xml also works
