I’m not sure I follow… Are you saying some “basic” type configuration options were not available? The “basic” version should have all the “basic” configuration settings you would expect. If you want more configuration options, then the Pro version provides those.
The Free / basic version offers the following features:
Adds Open Graph / Rich Pin meta tags (Facebook, Google+, Pinterest, LinkedIn, etc.).
Configurable image sizes for Open Graph (Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.) and Pinterest.
Optional fallback to a default image and video for index and search webpages.
Supports featured, attached, gallery shortcode, and/or HTML image tags in content.
Validates image dimensions to provide accurate media for social websites.
