SKevo Hello, Hello, sorry. I was troubled by some work, which made me forget this post.
Luckily, I recalled it (it's not something to be proud of)
My local device is windows. After downloading the pyflarum-bulk-discussions you provided, I created some test markdown files in the discussions folder, and then executed the following code in powershell, but there was no change in my forum and no new posts were created.
The following is the command I changed. I confirm that the relevant fields I filled in are correct. Due to privacy, I have replaced the URL, user name and password with the relevant URL and user of the forum

python -m bulk_discussions -f https://test.flarum.org/ -u testuser -p testpassword

      GreXXL changed the title to pyFlarum Bulk Discussions .

      SKevo could you check what's the output of that command, please?

      I don't understand. The powershell terminal I use
      This is my situation.

      And then this is the output tab, and he doesn't have any logs.

          JerryYang I later tried to write the account and url into the code and ran successfully
          I will add this code

              parser = ArgumentParser()
    parser.add_argument('--forum_url', '--url', '-f', help='Forum URL to create discussions for.', required=True)
    parser.add_argument('--username', '-u', help='Username to log into.', required=True)
    parser.add_argument('--password', '-p', help='Password for the user.', required=True)
    args = parser.parse_args()

        USER = FlarumUser(forum_url=args.forum_url, username_or_email=args.username, password=args.password)

          Change to

              FORUM_URL = "https://test.org/"
    USERNAME = "testuser"
    PASSWORD = "testpassword"

        USER = FlarumUser(forum_url=FORUM_URL, username_or_email=USERNAME, password=PASSWORD)
