Secenario is that website has an admin for website in wordpress and users
can only post/edit their posts.
User panel is diffrent form main theme (its default gray one).
Is there a way to write a custom user panel that would work with wordpress
login and that would look like main site, having only post/edit/logout functions?
yes, you can change how your dashboard looks.
on how to change the style of dashboard - take a look here.
on how to restrict user access to only certain parts of the dashboard - you can do that easily with the capability manager plugin.

My friend has a Wordpress website and she has no idea how to change anything so she asks me. How can I change the default contact email address?
This is the one that appear on the top bar, sort of towards the left. If you click on it, it opens your default email program. I'm looking in the Wordpress settings but I don't see where it is saved.
I am logging in as the site admin and looking for the setting. I'm not looking at the backend.
Not clear what you mean by top bar - left. There is no email there in WP admin. But the default email for WP admin is under Settings > General > Email Address when you are in the admin section. For the logged in user email you can click on your icon top right and select the Edit my profile menu option.
If by "top left" you are referring to the frontend of the site (as opposed to admin) then its a custom thing that the theme placed there. Themes are developed by independent authors and not part of the core WP and many themes have their own settings panel (which makes finding certain settings difficult as the theme author placed it wherever they wanted). Oftentimes the theme has its own menu entry in admin so look for that.
Additionally since you mention "contact email address" perhaps there is a contact form on the site. By default WP has no contact form so these are added by plugins. Most likely they make use of the administrator email addressI mentioned first but can also be overridden. The place to look depends on the form plugin but common ones might be Contact Form 7 which I think places its settings under the Settings menu. Another popular one is Gravity Form which has its own entry in admin.
Hope that helps.
I want to add some extra form fields to an existing page in Wordpress.
This page is where you are redirected whenever you edit a post or page.
My problem is I don't know where to find this file or what its called.
I need to know what file i need to edit in order to be able to add the new inputs.
this page would only be seen if you are an administrator and logged in and in dashboard.
I'm using wordpress edge shuffle theme.
The easiest way to solve this is to use Advanced Custom Fields. ACF allows you to specify custom fields that appear on certain edit pages in the admin. You'll then have custom data to use on your frontend templates.
Check out this tutorial for more.
For me, as I was just trying to figure out how to edit my posts page
While logged on to my admin account to edit, I went to my actual page and the top admin bar had an option of "customize" and that took me where I needed to go to add some css
I am looking for a way to limit a specific user role (blog admin) on our Drupal site to administering blocks on the main site theme only, and not the admin theme.
Currently, when this user goes to the blocks admin page, they see two theme tabs in the top right. Is there any way to hide this tabbed menu? I'm working with end users who may be confused seeing these two theme menu tabs.
thanks,
Evan
I want to make a public blog, Where user can write from the frontend after login.
Basically in wordpress, after login, Users being redirect to wp-admin, the Dashboard. And there they have the 'new post' functionality. But i want to keep that away from my bloggers. They will login from the custom login panel in the sidebar and they will have a new post link there, which will take them to www.domainname.com/new-post or something like that. There they will have the full functionality of wordpress content editor. Upload, Main text-area with Editor, Tag and Category. All of them in the frontend so that i don't have to show them the wp-admin section.
is there any way to make this happen?
It looks like that what you describes can be easily done with this plug-in:

Anybody knows a good plugin for Wordpress to provide a nice Admin dashboard which also cleans the regular Wordpress update mess. I do not want customer getting distracted with the loaded content in the backend with events, news and updates (messy content updates) in the Backend login? Thanks in advance.
I'm not sure if I understand what you're needing. If you're looking for a way to hide a lot of the stuff in the WordPress control panel, Adminimize is a good plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/adminimize/
There are also plugins to hide the update reminder: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/hide-update-reminder/
And to control what appears on the add/edit post page: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-cms-post-control/
Using a combination of the above, you can redirect users directly to the post page (skipping the dashboard) when they log in, and limit what they see in the control panel menu to an amazing extent. You can allow them to see widgets, for instance, but not see the themes page.
Hope this helps.

In the latest WordPress versions, >2.7, you can set the admin screen to display only a subset of the Admin widgets.
Just click on Screen Options at the top right of the Admin page to reveal option checkboxes.
For example, you can uncheck "WordPress Development Blog", and "Other WordPress News". You can even format the screen to be just one column and only show the "QuickPress" widget.
