Once I did that everything fell into place.
There are a lot of blog posts on this plug-in because of A Records and CNAME records that you have to create. Thinking that was the problem I read just about everything I could in order to solve it. I use cPanel and that part was a breeze. I just parked the domains and cPanel did the rest (A Records or whatever). For me, the A Record issue was one big red herring but seemed to be a major issue for a lot of people.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, it definitely will. I hadn't caught the part about the written instruction being clear in your earlier posts. I thought the 'last piece of the puzzle' was something that just wasn't in the info anywhere at all and you'd had to hunt it down elsewhere.
But I can see what you mean about how the setup menu should tell you to do that final step. And I've more than once searched for an answer online and wound up getting red herringed by following threads that just weren't my problem.
Thanks again!
