Full descriptions

I am getting the entire description of my content to appear instead of the abbreviated text with a “View More: button. The button is on, but it is not showing up. I am also getting two of the images defined for each box. Also, there is no padding between the grey box (full height template) and the text inside the box.

I have the full purchased version
I am using SmartMag theme

Thanks
