Point DNS to Squarespace Except for a Specific Subdirectory - wordpress

My client is moving their site to SquareSpace, but wants to keep the blog portion hosted in WordPress. I'm not sure what their current hosting plan is, but is it generally possible to point "example.com" to SquareSpace, and have "example.com/blog" still exist as a WordPress site?
Thank you!

This can't be done solely through DNS as DNS is ignorant of the path and works only with the domain name. The only way to do this through DNS would be to move the blog from example.com/blog to blog.example.com, then the website can be located on one service at example.com and the blog can still be located on wordpress at blog.example.com.

Wordpress using differet domain

Hello I have the following environment:
Domain A (redirect to domain B) Apache server
Domain B (separate web server where is installed Wordpress) Apache server
So if I digit the url of domain A I see the homepage of Wordpress site.
My problem is that if I click any link in the website I will be redirected to the Domain B because the site use the permalink of the wordpress installation.
Is there any chance to use the domain A name as base URL?
thanks
sorry - this question is not clear. Did you migrate the site? Or are you making a copy? Are those domains different - or maybe subdomains. Maybe try to share those domains if they are live. Hard to help if it's not clear what the question is about.
I have installed wordpress under the domain:
www.domain-a.com
I have another domain:
www.domain-b.com
that is configured to point to every single page of domain-a
so if I point to URL: www.domain-b/example-page I can see correctly the wordpress page. My problem is that if I click on every link inside this page the permalink is cofigured for domain-a so I will be redirect to the url domain-a. I need to stay always inside the domain-b url.
Is there any wordpress configuration that I can do to solve it?
I cannot reproduce the environment because is under a VPN.
Thanks

Why is Wordpress not working in other DNS

I install Wordpress in Hostinger with Hostinger's DNS name, then it is working properly, but when I access with second DNS pointed to this site, the CSS on website is not working Although I check the source and the CSS link is not wrong. please help me! thanks a lot
I assume you’re trying to access your WordPress site with two different domain names, eg. example.com and www.example.com.
This usually causes problems with WordPress sites, due to the way the assets (CSS, Javascript, etc.) are referenced.
Choose one, eg. www.example.com, and redirect example.com to www.example.com.

Pointing purchased domain to a subdomain on an another hosting (Wordpress)

I bought a domain (www.domain.com) with godaddy.ca. Just the domain without the hosting.
I created a Wordpress website on a subdomain (sub.mydomain.it) on another hosting (Netsons).
Now I need to point the domain to the subdomain.
I tried the forwarding with masking through GoDaddy DNS Management, and it works. If I go to www.domain.com it redirects me as needed. I can see the content of the website on my subdomain.
Anyway, I still have all the internal links that show my subdomain.
How can I solve this?
Thank you for your help and sorry for the rough English.
I really appreciate.

Wordpress primary domain

I've got a question regarding wordpress and multiple domains. I've got two domains (.cz and .com), both pointing to the same folder. The .com domain automatically redirects to the .cz domain. I would like to change this so that the .cz domain redirects to the .com domain. I thought this can by done in my webhosting interface, however, tech support told me that I have to change it in wordpress. Can anyone help me, please?
Thanks!
Go to Settings -> General and update the WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL).
You should also set up 301 redirects to send the .com to .cz (and probably non-www to www, or vice-versa on both domains).
Do some Google searching, or search on here for tons of resources on how to do that.

CName of website

My website doesn't work without www. It is not working since I installed WordPress.
Pardon me, I am not trying to market my site. But here it goes
http://www.stratageeks.com works
http://stratageeks.com doesn't
My settings in wordpress
If I remove www from both those places than the situation is other way, I have problem with www
Do I need to digg some place else? CName or what?
I believe the problem is with your DNS settings. You can check in with your hosting provider and make sure that the A Name for stratageeks.com, and that the CNAME www. points to stratageeks.com. The A Name usually contains the IP to your server and CNAME points to a web address
