Please note that HarentiusBlogBundle can provide default configuration for other bundles.
To make this work, HarentiusBlogBundle should be registered before other bundles

HarentiusBlogBundle also has default security config. So please make sure it does not conflict with your app config or skip using it

3. Include routes:

# config/routes.yaml
blog:
    resource: "@HarentiusBlogBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml"
    prefix: /

4. Include default configs:
   Note: this step can be skipped if you decide to configure bundles (i.e. DoctrineBundle, SecurityBundle, etc) yourself

# config/packages/harentius_blog.yaml
imports:
    - { resource: '@HarentiusBlogBundle/Resources/config/config.yml' }
