Sections with subfolder 4.7.x

I've got an issue with Sections - it does not function properly while drupal is in a subfolder of a site. We currently have it there for development purposes, but it is doubtful that the client will sign off on a site that doesn't work according to contract. I know that Sections will work with 4.7.x, as I've had it functional on a different site. I have $base_url set properly, but still no luck. Is there any little snippet of code I can plug into sections.module to work around this during development? Any help at all will be wonderful.

Thanks!
