Destroy only works locally using link_to, substituted button_to for deployment. Any potential issues?

Had issues deploying the app on Heroku, eventually ended up substituting "link_to" with "button_to" because that was the only way I could find to make it destroy statuses (it otherwise just ignored the request and displayed all statuses, worked perfectly locally though). From what I read it may be related to the version (running Ruby 2.2.2 Rails 4.1.8). It now doesn't display any confirmation notice but it does at least delete items.

Anyone have other suggestions? Am I messing anything else up by using button_to? Already tried precompiling, javascript_include_tag 'jquery_ujs', changing the gemfile.

FYI to anyone else having issues with destroy, button_to works as a last resort...

I too am experiencing the same issue. Can't figure out the reason.
