My problem is the "Read on" button that is shown under every excerpt, is redirecting me to the same excerpt, too, instead of taking me to the full post. I have a complete suspect of my code, it's probably 100% different to those codes I've seen around on tutorials for adding Excerpt, for example I don't require using the < ?php the_content(); ?>
to display the post, or < ?php the_excerpt(); ?>
for the excerpt. I'm no longer able to reach the developer who did the work so I'm just lost. To my best knowledge, you will need the Index.php to look at, so here you go.
Index.php:
<?php
/**
* The main template file
*
* This is the most generic template file in a WordPress theme
* and one of the two required files for a theme (the other being style.css).
* It is used to display a page when nothing more specific matches a query.
* For example, it puts together the home page when no home.php file exists.
*
* @link http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy
*
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage Twenty_Twelve
* @since Twenty Twelve 1.0

Take a look on content.php
file in your theme folder.
<?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
The above part load the external php file which is located in your theme folder. Most probably, there are more files exists like content-page
, content-tags
etc. depands of your developer.
