It appears to be an issue with your dashboard metabox. When it’s loaded, it appears to load the WP Admin dashboard sidebar as well. After clearing caches, I can move it around, but as soon as I click on anything, it brings me to a page that ONLY has your metabox and nothing else. I’ve tried to disable the metabox, but to no avail. I had to deactivate AIO SEO for now, will check again when it’s fixed.
Thank you for reporting this, we’re looking into it now.
What other plugins do you have active and what is your theme?
Also, what does “dashboard metabox” refer to? Can you provide a screenshot?
The theme is custom, we have ACF PRO, Gravity Forms, Jetpack, Google Analyticator, TinyMCE Advanced, and WP SMTP installed. By dashboard meta box, I mean the boxes that are displayed on the dashboard, image attached.

I sent a message through the channel you requested, I’m just going to add my two cents in debugging.
I just did some quick digging, and it appears the welcome.php in /admin/display/ folders are new in v2.3.9.2. I think the fallback on line 57:
wp_safe_redirect( add_query_arg( array( 'page' => 'aioseop-about' ), admin_url( 'index.php' ) ) );
is the issue here, or the fact that it’s getting there at all. Again, take my novice code dive into your plugin with a grain of salt.
Thanks!
Yes, that is the code doing the new redirect. The problem is that it shouldn’t be running every time you click around your site (only on a new install or on an update). We haven’t had any other reports of this and aren’t able to reproduce it, so without logging into your site personally it’s difficult to debug.
Update:
For anyone else having this problem who reads this, as it turns out, this was an issue related to WP Engine’s aggressive caching. Clearing the cache fixed it. In the next version, we’ll try to keep this from happening in the future.
