 * I uploaded a theme via filezilla and when I tried to activate it it showed an
   error: The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a 
   stylesheet and a template.
    what does it means? how to fix that?

 * I’m sorry but as you are using a commercial theme, you need to seek support from
   the theme’s developer/vendor. We do not support [commercial products](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Commercial_Products)
   here.
 * In the meantime, check that you are only uploading the theme’s folder and nothing
   else.
