Build Log 006 — Social MVP and Foundation Recovery
This checkpoint marks the first working member Social system inside No Signal Media.
The work started with a foundation issue and ended with a much clearer system. Earlier in the build, a simplified functions.php overwrite caused existing No Signal modules to lose functionality. That became an important lesson: No Signal Media is now too interconnected for foundational files to be replaced casually.
From here forward, functions.php must always be amended from the current working version, not restarted from a thinner copy.
That recovery led directly into a cleaner modular structure and the first usable Social MVP.
Foundation Recovery
The project is still built on the established No Signal Media foundation:
- WordPress
- Twenty Twenty-Five child theme
- ACF
- Members
- Core pages for Home, About, Radio, TV, Social, Learn, Private, Meet, My Room, Account, and Settings
- Logged-out navigation limited to Home and About
- Logged-in navigation expanded across the full No Signal experience
The foundation confirms the core WordPress setup, page list, navigation model, and the purpose of the conditional navigation plugin.
The conditional navigation plugin switches the active Twenty Twenty-Five block navigation depending on whether the visitor is logged in or logged out.
The access rules plugin separates public and private page behavior and redirects logged-out visitors away from private sections.
Module Structure
The Social MVP now lives inside the child theme module structure:
