Option clash with package for hyperref usepackage when converting document to aomart

Question

I am trying to convert a .tex document from \documentclass{article} to \documentclass[final]{aomart}.

When I try to compile the document, I get the following error message:

line 17 Option clash for package hyperref. \usepackage

The script is:

1  \documentclass[final]{aomart}
2  \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
3  \usepackage[title]{appendix}
4  \usepackage{parskip}
5  \usepackage{amsmath}
6  \usepackage[english]{babel}
7  \usepackage{pgfplots}
8  \usepgflibrary{arrows}
9  \usetikzlibrary{arrows}
10 \pgfplotsset{compat=1.16}
11 \usepackage{tikz}
12 \usepackage{amssymb}
13  \usepackage{cancel}
14  \usepackage{float}
15  \usepackage[section]{placeins}
16  \usepackage[hidelinks]{hyperref}
17  \usepackage{enumerate}
18  \newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}[subsection]
19  ...

I tried removing \usepackage[hidelinks]{hyperref} or \usepackage{enumerate}, but I get other messages.

How should I fix this issue?

Update

Here is the MWE:

\documentclass[final]{aomart}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\usepackage[hidelinks]{hyperref}
\usepackage{enumerate}
\begin{document}
    xxx
\end{document}

Can you make a minimal working example (MWE)? Please also remove the line numbers, if we are going to work on a solution for your problem, we would have to painstakingly remove them before we could compile a document. — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Oct 19 '18 at 10:16
the package hyperref with rare exception should be loaded last. please provide complete but small document which we can test and see, what is the problem. — Zarko, Oct 19 '18 at 10:19
why you need option hidelinks? without it your example work fine. also links are not visible, however ithey are active. — Zarko, Oct 19 '18 at 10:32
@Zarko: It's because I followed this advice: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/12408/165510. — Jérôme Verstrynge, Oct 19 '18 at 10:35
aomart.cls as you have noticed already loads hyperref with options. Have you tried specifying the option via \hypersetup{ hidelinks }? — daleif, Oct 19 '18 at 10:39

The aomart class already loads hyperref with options, thus you get an option class if you ask for other options.

If really needed, then use

\hypersetup{
  hidelinks
}

in your preamble instead. You can do this with most hyperref options (if not all).

BTW: enumitem is probably more recommended to use for lists than the old enumerate package

I removed \usepackage[hidelinks]{hyperref} and modified the 1st line to \documentclass[hidelinks,final]{aomart}. The issue is gone. – Jérôme Verstrynge Oct 19 '18 at 10:46
