Answer 1

If you are trying to retroactively resize images, use the code you've supplied in your functions.php, then run the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/

Once you've done that you should be able to display the image using the following:

the_post_thumbnail('my_thumb');

Answer 2

You might want to add:

add_image_size( 'my_thumb', 145, 100, true);

Adding true should enable WordPress to do a hard crop to keep your dimensions and not just scale the image. (Provided your images are at least that width and height or larger.)

As mentioned above you would need to regenerate your current images.

Answer 3

First, if you added your add_image_size() call to functions.php after you already uploaded/attached images, you will need to regenerate the thumbnails for those attached images.

Second, you should be able to return/output the image for any defined image size, using wp_get_attachment_image( $attachment_id, $size ):

• wp_get_attachment_image() calls wp_get_attachment_image_src()
• wp_get_attachment_image_src() calls image_downsize()
• image_downsize() calls wp_get_attachment_metadata()
• wp_get_attachment_metadata() returns the _wp_attachment_metadata post meta for the attachment
• _wp_attachment_metadata includes all pre-defined image sizes
