    After inspecting the affected area using browser DevTools, the spacing comes from the editor outputting:<p><br></p>
    These empty paragraph tags appear between content blocks and create large blank gaps in Edit mode.
    Looking forward to your quick fix on your end.
    Thanks.

    Hi Danny,
    I am sorry, BuddyBlog is not causing the spacing. I saved and tested on a blank install of BuddyBoss.

    I believe some code or plugin on your site is causing this conflict.

    Do you have a staging site where I may look into? If yes, Please share a link and grant me access(Please share via contact form or private reply here).

    If staging is not feasible, Please provide me following details:-
    1. List of active plugin
    2. Are you using bp-custom.php? Is there a file with this name in your wp-content/plugins directory?

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Hi Danny,
    Thank you for your patience.
    I have checked it thoroughly and I do see the issue. On that screen, something is applying wpautop filter on all content inside the BuddyBoss’s item.
    May I disable some of the plugin/code to check what is causing it?

    Regards

    Here is a bit more detail:-
    One of the plugin/code is forcing to run wpautop on shortcode generated content. WordPress handles it well, but something is causing to run after the generated code to cause this issue(the form on page is being generated via shortcode).

    Hi Brajesh,

    Yes, please feel free to disable any plugins or custom code needed on the staging site to identify the cause.
    Thanks!

    Thank you.
    the conflict is caused by Elementor as It disappeared when I disabled it on the staging.

    Please allow me a day to look into it and provide a solution.

    Hi Danny,
    I am sorry, it took me time to investigate and find a solution. I was looking at a code based solution but my issue was the concern it might break others.

    There is a simple solution though. Please Edit the page you are using for shortcode and make sure you switch back to WordPress editor(there is a button at top left). Once you do that and save, elementor will not try to add its customization on the page and It will be rendered normally.

    Regards
    Brajesh
