It seems I misunderstood your question. You don’t need to purchase the gallery separately, it’s already available into the theme. You’re probably going to need to use a shortcode in order to add such a gallery to your existing Wordpress setup. Read the documentation file that came with the theme.

It looks like your theme zip is corrupted. Re-download it and try again

From what you have said I would recommend WP. Magento is an awesome tool but it sounds a little on the advanced side for what you need. In the early stages of your business it is important to be able to craft a cool website around what you are selling an this is far easier with WP. Long term for you to edit, update etc again WP is easier.

Charlie here has got a good point :)

Also, there would be a couple more aspects to be taken into consideration before deciding what solution to embrace.

1) Considering you’ve already bought the Magento theme, why not use it?

However,

2) Magento offers greater capabilities but the products setup learning curve is not quite smooth.

[...] just a final conclusion from you guys, you think i should go with WP?

It greatly depends on what you need out of an eCommerce-driven website. If you’re going to have a great variety of products for sale, and need a robust and straightforward e-store, then your best option would be Magento. On the other hand, if you have just a few products, and you’re looking for simplicity, Wordpress with an eCommerce plugin would suffice.

Good to hear that. I was a bit confused when you said you bought the theme and then you changed your statement into helping the person who bought it. Good luck with the setup!

Hey vizavi,

Do you happen to have another account on Themeforest?

LE: Travis beat me to it :)
I help person who have bought the theme.

No biggie. Tell them to submit a support ticket after logging into their account.

@Charlie ha ha, my turn :)

@westick I highly doubt a Magento theme from Themeforest needs additional coding in order to be installed on a webserver.

The themes on Themeforest go through a thorough review process before getting approved for sale here. If the theme needed additional coding, it wouldn’t have been available.

Let alone the quote which seems a bit too much for the job.
