Will Paginate AJAX Solutions not working on Rails? - ruby-on-rails

Question

So, I have followed the standard answers for applying will paginate WITH AJAX on my rails website, but it doesn't seem to be working. If I click to go to the next set of partials, the page doesn't change. I see the request being made, but the contents of the page are the same.
//Here is my code below:
//Views
#container.baseGrip
= render :partial => 'student_search_pages/search_options'
#teachersList.full
%span.noreselt.full 該当する先生はいません
- #initial_users.each do |user|
.profcard_wrapper.six
= render :partial => "user_profile_cards/user_profile_card", :locals => {:user => user, :favorite_view => true}
= render :partial => 'users/edit/sche_candidate'
= js_will_paginate #initial_users, :previous_label => "< b", :next_label => "n >", :class => "pagination full", :outer_window => 2, :params => params[:page]
Here is my controller:
class StudentSearchPagesController < AuthenticatedController
before_action :check_user_is_student!
include StudentSearchPagesHelper
include WillPaginateHelper
def show
#user = current_user
#student = current_user.student
#initial_users = StudentSearchPagesHelper.initial_teacher_search(#student).paginate(:page => params[:page], :per_page => 1)
#favorites = current_user.user_favorites
#referer = request.referer
end
end
And finally, here is my helper:
module WillPaginateHelper
class WillPaginateJSLinkRenderer < WillPaginate::ActionView::LinkRenderer
def prepare(collection, options, template)
options[:params] ||= {}
options[:params]['_'] = nil
super(collection, options, template)
end
protected
def link(text, target, attributes = {})
if target.is_a? Fixnum
attributes[:rel] = rel_value(target)
target = url(target)
end
#template.link_to(target, attributes.merge(remote: true)) do
text.to_s.html_safe
end
end
end
def js_will_paginate(collection, options = {})
will_paginate(collection, options.merge(:renderer => WillPaginateHelper::WillPaginateJSLinkRenderer))
end
end
Also, here is the request that shows up when I click next:
Started GET "/student/search?page=2" for ::1 at 2018-04-04 10:09:13 -0400
Processing by StudentSearchPagesController#show as JS

This helper I use and works perfectly:
module WillPaginateHelper
class WillPaginateAjaxLinkRenderer < WillPaginate::ActionView::LinkRenderer
def prepare(collection, options, template)
options[:params] ||= {}
options[:params]["_"] = nil
super(collection, options, template)
end
protected
def link(text, target, attributes = {})
if target.is_a? Fixnum
attributes[:rel] = rel_value(target)
target = url(target)
end
target = target.sub('/data', "") if Rails.env == "production"
ajax_call = "$.ajax({url: '#{target}', dataType: 'script'});return false;"
#template.link_to(text.to_s.html_safe,"#", onclick: ajax_call)
end
end
def ajax_will_paginate(collection, options = {})
will_paginate(collection, options.merge(:renderer => WillPaginateHelper::WillPaginateAjaxLinkRenderer))
end
end
