Django app not updating after set up with Postgres, Nginx, and Gunicorn on Ubuntu 20.04

I have set up a Django app successfully using a DO droplet. I following this tutorial: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-django-with-postgres-nginx-and-gunicorn-on-ubuntu-20-04. After making some changes to my code, I pushed committed (pushed) them to my git repo at github. I then pulled the changes to my server using git pull origin master. I located the changed file and sudo nano it and discovered the code changes are being reflected. I then ran these two commands (sudo systemctl daemon-reload) and (sudo systemctl restart gunicorn).

I even restarted nginx. However no changes are being reflected on my website in production. The changes can be seen on myserver_IP:8000 (sudo ufw allow 8000). The same works when I use gunicorn to load the project’s WSGI module (gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:8000 myproject.wsgi). I have been following up on the issue on previous community answers on the same problem but none matches by specific problem.

I later ran this command (journalctl -xe) to determine if my gunicorn restarts successfully. The following is the error log I managed to retrieve:

-- A stop job for unit gunicorn.service has begun execution.
--
-- The job identifier is 22617.

I have also cleared by browser cache and purged my CDN cache. No changes still on my website. Please any senior to help? This problem is a real headache.
