Glad to help. The first thing I notice when visiting your page, is that the Login form shortcode is either wrapped by code tags, or is added via Gutenberg code block (possibly both). That is why you see such tremendous vertical spacing between the page elements. So that is the first thing that I would recommend fixing. I.e., make sure the form shortcode is not surrounded by code tags or code blocks.
Let me know when you get that far, and then the background color can be checked, changed, etc.

Login form shortcode? Never even touched it to my knowledge. Let me take a look…
Yeah it is the shortcode that displays the login form on the page you linked.
Also make sure the actual USP form is not wrapped with code tags or code block.
Was thinking something else.
The code on that page is just
[usp_member]
[user-submitted-posts]
[/usp_member]
[usp_visitor]
[usp-login-form]
[/usp_visitor]
Are you viewing the content using the RTE/Visual editor, or the Plain-Text Editor. Because the code and/or pre tags will not be displayed if via the RTE editor. I.e., you’ve got to view the content with the plain-text editor to see any HTML tags.

I almost always use visual.
That’s fine but you need to use the plain-text editor when working with any markup, shortcodes, or other syntax sensitive content. Otherwise there can be weird character encoding and other artifacts that affect display/output.

Yeah see where it says wp:preformatted.. that means that the shortcode is added via pre/code block, which will cause all output to be wrapped with pre/code tags. Try to find the Custom HTML block and add the shortcode there instead.
Ok. Will see about figuring that out. I added USP before (same site) and had no issues like that but after a server crash I got this awkward spacing. I have 2 sites with the same issue.
Hey @killswitchian, I hope you got this sorted. Haven’t heard back in awhile, so gonna go ahead and mark this ticket as “resolved” to help keep things organized. Feel free to post again with any further questions or feedback. Thank you.
