heroku-django-template | Django 2.0 base template featuring | Continuous Deployment library

I'm trying to install django-filer. But when I run manage.py migrate I get AttributeError: 'Manager' object has no attribute '_inherited'. I don't know what that means. (I started this project with Heroku starter template https://github.com/heroku/heroku-django-template)

I initially thought that perhaps I forgot to install JPEG and ZLIB, but to my understanding they are default since Pillow 3.0.

I have a Django application that is running on Heroku. I am using Postgres with Django and when I first committed the files and ran heroku run python manage.py migrate, the initial migrations worked fine. I then created a new app restaurant in which I created a new model.

I ran the local makemigrations and migrate and it created a new file restaurant/migrations/0001_initial.py.

The problem is that when I now run heroku run python manage.py migrate it says there are no migrations to apply. I tried

heroku run python manage.py migrate restaurant

but there's an error CommandError: App 'restaurant' does not have migrations.

I have logged into the console and the migration files are there so I was wondering if I should be doing something like:

I am new to publishing django apps on heroku. I have read their tutorials and figured I would start simple by modifying their template django project.

View of how the folder structure should be

It looks like some folders are "stitched" one to another. what could be my issue? should i avoid "-" and "_" in my file names?

thanks for the help.

based on extra questions, I added more info on my settings.py file. I followed a tutorial to get all the stuff right. Also whitenoise was installed, added to wsgi.py.

I am trying to deploy my fully functional (when local and Debug=True) site to Heroku. When I use the default Django staticfile_storage settings, my site appears live but without any static files (css, images, etc). The admin panel works but it doesn't have any styles either.

But, when I try to use Whitenoise, which is what I originally intended, I get a server 500 error. The admin panel will not work then. I can't figure out for the life of me what I am doing wrong.

I have tried to model my settings.py file after Heroku's template: https://github.com/heroku/heroku-django-template, and Whitenoise's documentation http://whitenoise.evans.io/en/latest/django.html.

When I look at my most recent Heroku logs, I see
