Hello There,
Thanks for writing in! This issue may have occurred because you have a custom function overriding the read more button. Could you please post in your next reply the contents of your child theme’s functions.php file?
By the way, I noticed that you are using an older version of X. Please update to the latest version. X 5.1.1 is now available. you should be able to update it by going in your WP dashboard, Dashboard > Updates.
Please let us know how it goes.
