What are the best image sizes for blogs articles and courses.

I have upgraded to 5 and want to give the site a new lick of paint and would love to get all the image sizes so that they sit right.

Thanks in advance

There aren't really any ideal sizes which we provide as the layout is responsive so width/height displayed will change with the size of the screen. You may wish to experiment and see what you like for each image that you're using.

Can i also ask in courses there seems to be an error uploading images, one more question is there a limit in courses to hosting the videos ?

What would be the best ratio then? F.e. 1:1 is abysmal. It should be something wider. Even 16:9 or 16:10 is not wide enough.

The same answer as my colleague gave above would also apply to ratios

1. Go to your theme editor

2. Go to Custom CSS

3. Enter

   .ipsCoverPhoto__container {
       aspect-ratio: auto;
   }

This will use the aspect ratio of the image you upload. The default aspect ratio is set to 4 by IPS. You can play with it by reducing to any number from 4 to 0. For my site, I'm leaving at Auto, but 2 seems to be acceptable also.
