1. How add separate map for a second gpx file in the same post
You can create a second map with adding shortcode [lfh-map] before your gpx file shortcode [lfh-gpx src="..."][/lfh-gpx].
Example:
[lfh-map]
[lfh-gpx src=http://url_of_gpx_file1.gpx ]description[/lfh-gpx]
[lfh-map]
[lfh-gpx src=http://url_of_gpx_file2.gpx ]description[/lfh-gpx]
2. Where can I create a gpx file ?
You can find a website list for do this in the page Track drawing websites
Openrunner is the best one for me and the most important: this website automatically add the elevation data needed to create the profile.
You can find on this site a quantity of already registered tracks.
You can also try the tools on www.mygpsfiles.com, easier to use
3. I have a blank page in place of the marker editor
This trouble come from conflict with multiple x-frame options directive in your server. Look at whether the plugin succeeded in writing this following lines in the .htaccess of your wordpress application if you can:
# BEGIN Lf-hiker plugin
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header set X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN
</IfModule>
# END Lf-hiker plugin
It resolve the trouble for me.
You can find more information about this trouble in wordpress support Multiple 'X-Frame-Options' headers with conflicting values
4. The route is not displayed
If you use WP media library other than the default WP - LF Hiker will not display routes
