Morphology
move + forward + irregardless
The meaning 'to proceed despite difficulties' is directly composed from 'move' + 'forward' (to go ahead) combined with 'irregardless' used here to mean 'regardless' (despite). Although 'irregardless' is nonstandard, its intended sense is the same as 'regardless', so the overall meaning is transparent and predictable to a B1 learner who knows the constituents.
Etymology
Move forward irregardless paints a clear image: move forward means to go on and irregardless is a mistaken word people use instead of 'regardless', meaning 'without caring'. So the phrase means 'to go on despite problems'.
