 * you can try using the excerpt box, open your post and at the top right you should
   see the ‘screen options’, open it and enable the excerpt.Not sure if your theme
   supports it though

 * this is the author of your theme, i installed the theme and the read more and
   the excerpt work fine, you can check if you need to update your theme and WP 
   or if there is a plugin conflict.

 * if you know what your mods are, you can write them down and re apply them or 
   else you will keep on having this kind of problems.
 * you can also make a dummy site and test your updates before they go live.
