Local by Flywheel from Sub-Directory

I was recently working on a project that loaded WordPress from a sub-directory. The result of which is if I cloned the project into the public directory, the WordPress files and directories (e.g. index.php, wp-login.php, wp-admin/) were one level deeper (in public/wordpress).

To run the site from this alternate location, I modified the mysite/conf/nginx/site.conf.hbs file.

Changing

root   "{{root}}";

to

root   "{{root}}/wordpress";

After making this change I stopped and re-started the site in Local and it loaded from the new location.
