php - How to Make a Basic Snippet of Javascript Work in Wordpress

Question

I found a snippet of Javascript online... that does exactly what I need to solve a problem. BUT I have not been able to get it to work without errors on Worpress.

The snippet is from here: https://www.the-art-of-web.com/javascript/remove-anchor-links/

<script type="text/javascript">

// Original JavaScript code by Chirp Internet: www.chirp.com.au
// Please acknowledge use of this code by including this header.

  document.querySelectorAll("a").forEach(function(current) {
    if(!current.hash) return;
    if(current.origin + current.pathname != self.location.href) return;
    (function(anchorPoint) {
      if(anchorPoint) {
        current.addEventListener("click", function(e) {
          anchorPoint.scrollIntoView({behavior: "smooth"});
          e.preventDefault();
        }, false);
      }
    })(document.querySelector(current.hash));
  });

</script>

I have this set up as it's own .js file in the functions.php (and then am enqeueing it via functions.php). It works (perfectly)... but it breaks other functionality.

Any help here would be GREATLY appreciated!
