 * I have followed the instructions for the custom form, and I made it.

   I made a folder in my theme/usp/ and placed the php form file and the css but
   when I made changes there, they didn’t apply. So I was forced to make changes
   in the original files. My question is, when the plugin is updated, will the changes
   be gone?

 * If you made changes to the plugin file(s), yes they will be overwritten next 
   plugin update.

 * So how can I make changes in the submission-form.php and apply the changes without
   losing the changes?

 * I’m not sure, some troubleshooting would be useful in determining the cause of
   the issue. The steps in the [plugin docs](https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-submitted-posts/#installation)
   are known to work well on default WordPress site. That would be the first thing
   to try: set up a new/clean WP and install/activate only USP. Use the default 
   WP theme. Then try again with the steps under “Custom Submission Form” in the
   plugin [Installation docs](https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-submitted-posts/#installation).
   Also don’t forget to set the “Custom Form” option in the plugin settings.
