I did set that as the video tutorial from codemy.com that I was watching instructed to do so. But I was able to solve this issue I believe by following the settings.py file on this Github repo (which included moving the whitenoise middleware after the security middleware) and adding STATICFILES_DIRS = BASE_DIR / 'static' (along with deleting the old syntax that I had commented out) while following the steps (including manually running 'python manage.py collectstatic') on this Stack Overflow answer. Now time will tell if the static files will persist or if I will run into an issue when the Heroku dyno restarts.
