I'm trying to use the backref option of BibLaTeX for back-referencing, but the pages in the bibliography link to the wrong pages (even though the pages listed are correct). The link appears to be systematically about 12 pages early (corresponding to the length of the frontmatter). Backref should be able to correctly link to a given page number, because the frontmatter is numbered with roman numerals whereas the mainmatter is numbered with arabic numerals, so the page numbers are unique (and I'm using the plainpages=false option of hyperref, as suggested here: Why does backref refer to wrong page?).
I tried to come up with a MWE, but I wasn't able to reproduce the error with a smaller example. Here's a fairly full example (I had to remove the comments to make it fit).

To run, you may need lstpatch.sty, which can be downloaded from here: http://www.atscire.de/download/lstpatch.sty
Bonus points: How can I remove the extra space after the opening parenthesis in each of the parenthetical citations?
Best Answer
The template/class you are using is loading
hyperref. But hyperref should be, with some exceptions, loaded last. The documentation ofbiblatexclearly says, that backreferencing will only work, when hyperref is loaded after biblatex.You have to either delete everything related to hyperref in the
.clsand input it in your own preamble.You should never modify a class or package file, since every change will be lost when updating. In your template, modifying is not only encouraged, but needed to get everything right. This can't be a quality mark. I would drop this template entirely.
Concerning the whitespace in your references:
You need to be careful when (re-)defining own command, since LaTeX treats the end of line as a single space. You can cover those with a comment character (
%). Read more about it at What is the use of percent signs (%) at the end of lines?For example, the first space after the opening bracket
(_is covered/removed here:You can easily find things like that on your own by using the methods to prepare a minimal working example.
