    Hello,

    The website has a page where anyone can submit a post without logging in and then the post is reviewed by admin and published or rejected. To implement this functionality I used this plugin: [link to cracked plugin removed by moderator]
    As I upgraded to WordPress 5.7 the problem is that WordPress removes all the formatting from the submitted content and all content is shown in a single line.

    for example, if anyone submits this( https://ibb.co/KqLbvtV ) content from the front end of the site, then this is converted in the block editor to this ( https://ibb.co/9qgW09s ).
    When I click the classic block it changes as- https://ibb.co/8D3GLZJ

    After the upgrade, all old posts are also converted to a classic block in the block editor but their formatting is still preserved ( https://ibb.co/89mf7Vq).
    This issue is happening with the new post submission from the front end.

    Please help.

    First of all, that appears to be an illegally cracked version of https://plugin-planet.com/usp-pro/

    Besides not receiving bug fixes from the original developer, it may also contain malware and other site-damaging elements.

    If you purchase the legitimate version from its developer, you will not only receive bug fixes, but also support.

    One quick addition, if you really don’t want to pay the developer for a legitimate copy of this plugin, the developer does offer a feature-limited free version at https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/user-submitted-posts/

    Thank you James, I appreciate your help.

    The plugin referred to by @ritikj is indeed cracked and unsafe.

    Further it is out of date by a few years and not compatible with the latest version of WordPress.

    I have removed the plugin from the website and for now, I am using the free version of the plugin suggested by @macmanx .

    This plugin is working fine now.

    Thank you all for your reply.
