By default, XML sitemaps generated by the WordPress SEO plugin are named as sitemap_index.xml. But, by default, sitemaps are named as sitemap.xml. If your WordPress blog is running on Nginx and if you are using the Yoast WordPress SEO plugin, there is a way to access the sitemaps using either /sitemap_index.xml or /sitemap.xml.

If you are using WordPress SEO plugin from Yoast to generate XML sitemaps on your WordPress site running on Nginx, the sitemap could be loaded without any style information. This is due to a missing rewrite rule.
