thanks for reading

Yes, You can do it. The quick and ugly way is to check the current customer's group and then set the theme programatically:
Mage::getDesign()->setArea('frontend')
->setPackageName('your_package')
->setTheme('your_theme');
You can see the following article to more understanding

If you have zip file , You can extract the downloaded theme into this location

If you used the Magento Extension Login as admin
System --> Magento Connect --> Magento Connect Manager
Given the Login Details
For Example : Hellowired theme

Magento - FishPig Integration - Not getting correct template for /blog

I have installed fresh version of WP, and Fish Pig and Magento.
My website is not showing the template when I click on blog.
www.lawsongems.com/blog where it should have template as shown here www.lawsongems.com
It seems to be grabbing stylesheets from here
When I think it should be skin/frontend/gravdept/acumen/css (Which is the theme I'm using.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
In magento, you need to change package which you create.
System->Configuration->General->design
Write your folder name in package and Theam.
I assume you have either the "Wordpress URL" or the "Blog URL" defined wrong in your WP-backend.
Refer to this documentation: http://fishpig.co.uk/wordpress-integration/docs/installation-and-configuration.html
Else: is it fully or semi-integrated? And: is the WP-folder inside or outside /magento/-folder?
