What's the domain? I work with WordPress on a daily basis - not here to cause you trouble. If you link the domain I'll take a look at the public DNS records and such to see what's happening under the hood.

Your domain is still pointing to Squarespace nameservers. They have a guide on Advanced DNS Settings.

You'll need to change your domain's nameservers from within the Squarespace control panel, or transfer your domain to an actual domain registrar, such as hover.com since they have great support.

WordPress has nothing to do with your domain's DNS servers - it's essentially just PHP code that generates a webpage on the fly from the server it's being hosted on. You do need to make sure your settings inside the WordPress Admin Dashboard are correct, but otherwise that's it. Contact your webhosting provider and ask for the nameservers you need to use to point your domain at said hosting account. Someone there should be able to help you out.
