Issue Summary
I was under the impression that this module would allow for the breadcrumb to mirror the primary and secondary menu structure. So for example if I had:
Primary Menu
Games (nodes here would show as Home > Games > Node Title)
Shows (nodes here would show as Home > Shows > Node Title)
I do have pathauto installed and am using url aliases to redirect. Is this causing the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks-

#1
Same behaviour on my side.
This module seams to be built to allow breadcrumbs with others than "navigation"' menu, but does not solve the problem on of "home" alone when node is displayed.
I found an acceptable solution when installing taxonomy_breadsrumb module in addtion to menu_breadcrumb module.

How are your menus built?
I believe that menus work better if the menu item links to the node/n path, but if you construct a menu structure pointing at aliases, some things don't work so well. It can be done, but isn't always.
The first method is the default if you built menus bys editing the menu field in node edit forms, the second situation can occur if you used the admin/menu instead.
This is just a guess - I don't know about this module actually.
#3
I'm having a similar issue.
and have both aliases and node/###'s as urls in my menu.
in my Primary menu I have for example:
activism:
- volunteer
- become a member
- etc
resources
- newsletter
- publications
etc
and clicking on the sub menu item 'volunteer' for example...
displays a breadcrumb of: home -> volunteer
I have pathauto in use, and custom breadcrumbs (tho it makes no difference if I disable it)
also... I find that that pages from Views will work if I select the menu item there (and don't build it through menu admin area) ... but, maybe it's just me but I haven't figured out how to set a submenu item in views.
any advice would be great, but as it is, it's not functioning so great. perhaps the dev version will work properly. or I'm just missing something in the setup?
#4
Same here! I can't find anything on the support or forums lists that speak to this, any ideas?
#5
No matter what I do, I only get the following link "Home >> Page Title".
#6
same issue. I am using taxonomy menu.
When I first installed this module I got an error message "user warning: Unknown column 'u.signature_format' in 'field list'" which was resolved after running update.php. Don't know if thats significant.
I installed taxonomy_breadcrumb and that did what I was expecting this module to do.
