anchor links in burger menu

Hi, I am creating a custom menu on the inspiro burger menu (not using the wp menu facility).

I have the links setup something like: <a href=”#about”>About</a> and the target id’s setup on the homepage.

I also have some nifty jquery setup which closes the burger menu when the links in the menu are clicked.

<script>jQuery('#silk-menu a').click(function() { jQuery('.navbar-toggle').click(); });</script>

But for some reason the page is not scrolling to the anchor links even though as I verified about the anchor links (id’s) are setup.

.. and strangely even if I type in the URL https://www.mydomain.com/#about ..it does not goto the anchor point?

Any help would be much appreciated, many thanks in advance!
