I bought the Integrity 2 module theme from setweaks and i wanted to know if I can use that on the oxwall network. I currently have my site on oxwall but would like to use the Integrity 2 module theme that I bought. Is this possible? I have tried uploading the theme but that does not work. Any help would be great.. thanks

Is that a WordPress theme? If so, you would need to hire someone to convert it to suit or do it yourself.
It won't just fit.

Where did you buy that theme from? Is it made for oxwall? If not, then it won't be possible. Oxwall does rely on mechanics it needs, like a xml with infos, a base.css and some page templates. Apart from that it has to be made for oxwall elements, like the whole css has to fit with the oxwall system. It's not possible to just take a theme from one system and use it on another.
If the theme is not made for oxwall, then it would be a lot of work to adept it to oxwall. It's like creating a whole new theme.
