Read More not displaying after writing Excerpt.

Hi,
When I write the excerpt the "Read More" button on the front page disappears, but when is left blank it is there..
Is there any workaround this? I want to always have the read button no matter if it has an excerpt or not.
Thanks,
Jesus Higuerey

Perfect, Thank you.
No problem.
Hey there, it kinda works partially now. I have multiple people writing on my site and let's say that they forget to write the Excerpt of the post, the button only appears when there is an excerpt. Is there a way to change this?
Hmm do you have excerpt activated here?

Yes sir
Can you link me to the page in question?
I will be making a live dev site in a bit, I'll post the link once I'm done
I added the site
What is the excerpt length set at?
Can you make sure that 1 test article has enough words for the excerpt to actually show?
Right now 25, but take a look at his, https://gyazo.com/6050e4798a1ae99def6bd45349cfed1c
I've added content now
Not sure where you are adding that content but your single post didn't change:

Weird, I can see the text across all my devices (Not just this computer), anyways I've cleared the cache even though I didn't have a caching plugin back then, please check again :)
The blog page is showing "Lorem ipsum..." text as excerpt, however the single post is still showing "Welcome to WordPress..." as the content.
Can you do me a favor and double check that the "Lorem ipsum..." isn't added in the custom excerpt metabox? Because that would explain why the excerpt option isn't working in the customizer as well.
