More Tag in Project Page

I want to use More tags in the wp project pages for the Hero theme by ThemeTrust.

The page example where I have added the more tag is:

https://designstage.tv/project/premios-gaudi-3/

I have changed the single-project.php to the following but although the ‘Read more’ link is generated in the page it does not open the remaining text in the project page?

All/any help appreciated! I am royally stuck:

<?php get_header(); ?>			

		<div id="pageHead">
			<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
			<div class="projectNav clearfix">
				<div class="previous <?php if(!get_previous_post()){ echo 'inactive'; }?>">
					<?php previous_post_link('%link', '← %title'); ?>
				</div>
				<div class="next <?php if(!get_next_post()){ echo 'inactive'; }?>">
					<?php next_post_link('%link', '%title →'); ?>
				</div>
			</div> <!-- end navigation -->
		</div>

		<div id="content" class="full">
			<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
			<div class="project clearfix">
				<?php global $more; $more = 0; ?>
				<?php the_content('Read more'); ?>				

				<?php $project_url = get_post_meta($post->ID, "_ttrust_url_value", true); ?>
				<?php $project_url_label = get_post_meta($post->ID, "_ttrust_url_label_value", true); ?>
				<?php $project_url_label = ($project_url_label!="") ? $project_url_label : __('Visit Site', 'themetrust'); ?>
				<ul class="skillList clearfix"><?php ttrust_get_terms_list(); ?>
				<?php if ($project_url) : ?>
					<p><a>"><?php echo $project_url_label; ?></a></p>
				<?php endif; ?>			

			</div>
			<?php comments_template('', true); ?>
			<?php endwhile; ?>
		</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>
