plugin not working after child theme

Question

I have just installed a child theme of a twenty sixteen wordpress theme.

For some reason one of my plugins 'Jquery smooth scroll' no longer works. I tried alternative 'smooth anchor scroll plugins' but they neither work. Other plugins (like Jetpack, Theme my login etc) still work fine.

I would be very grateful for any help.

A plugin isn't completely necessary for something like this. If you're comfortable modifying your functions.php file, you can simply utilize wp_enqueue_script to load up a smooth scroll script such as this one .
