there should generally be no need to edit the index.php to get the ‘more-tag’ to work; assuming it uses the function the_content()
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_content
as for the text of the ‘more-link’, try to check element-content.php (?) which is (possibly) called by this code: <?php get_template_part( 'element', 'content' ); ?>
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_template_part
you might need to contact the theme’s developer for support, as this forum here only suppports themes from http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/
Thanks for the reply. What php file do I need to edit?
And yes, I do have a element-content.php file…
But there is no ‘more’ text that I can find.

Is this not a public forum where users can exchange techniques and fixes for WordPress in all it’s forms?
Perhaps there is a different thread within the Forum where I can submit this?

yes – that is the reason the topic is kept open in case somebody comes along to answer your question.
you also got some links to Codex chapters you will need to work through as they might have the answer already.
what stops you contacting the theme’s developer for support? after all this is part of what you pay for when you buy a theme…
