@Steve,

I’m trying this as well to add instructions as the first in select menu. What am I doing wrong that I get this error?

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_DOUBLE_ARROW in /home/nickel/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wpcountryipsecurity/parts/settings/countryipsecurity-countries.php on line 38

Here’s my code

  piklist('field', array(
    'type' => 'group'
    ,'field' => 'continent_north_america'
    ,'add_more' => true
    ,'label' => 'North America'
