I wonder if anyone can advise me as to what is wrong?
I have a LaTeX report where I reference the same footnote more than once on a page in the introduction:
documentclass[oneside,11pt]{report}

\usepackage[colorlinks=true]{hyperref}
\usepackage{footnotebackref}

This works correctly. But if I try to add the usepackage statements from this report to another, the second report fails to compile because of a
LaTeX Warning: Command \@footnotetext has changed.
Check if current package is valid.
)
! LaTeX Error: Option clash for package hyperref.
See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.
...
l.31 \usepackage
{footnotebackref}
?
Process has been terminated ...
And even if I reset the usepackage statements to:
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{footmisc}
The footnotes of the second report all take me to the report's front page.
Why?
The current second report can't be shown in its entirety but this is very close to what it is like:

hyperrefis a package that should be among the last loaded. (For what it's worth, I tend to group packages into categories like: fonts, (physical) page setup, sectional divisions, language & bibliography, lists & tables, colours & graphics, misc., personal packages, hyperref & bookmarks.) See also the pkgloader package.hyperref, the footnotes still point at the first page. It is irksome. But I take the point about order.% \usepackage[colorlinks=true]{hyperref}then\usepackage{hyperref}3 lines later. That can be the cause of theOption clasherror you report above(?!) that file if you try to load the package twice. There are also other loading errors.bookmarkloads hyperref, too, which can clash with other packages, such as the graphics-related ones. (Also: don't loadgraphicsandgraphicx-- just the latter should be fine.) Really, if you think about and reorganize your preamble, you'll be in better shape overall.
