Problems caused by changing the name of my app when deploying to heroku

The name of my django app was always workout. Then, when I started to deploy it, I thought it'd be a good idea to change the name to workoutcalendar. So I started a new git repo and put my project files in there (not starting a new django project). The only things I changed were the name of the folder workout (the first one of the django project where settings.py is located) to workoutcalendar as well as changing the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable.

Now, I'm running into problems. It seems that parts of my app are looking for a workout module, which they can't find. Example:

I don't know how to change all the relevant parts of my project. Where are the places where workout will be mentioned, and I need to change it to workoutcalendar?

The problem could be your ROOT_URLCONF in settings.py.

ROOT_URLCONF = 'workoutcalendar.urls'

If you still get problems after that, then run git grep workout in your project directory and review the matches to see if there are any other changes you have to make.
