Downloaded full release of Sonoma this morning. Changing the wall paper in Settings does not work. Stuck with the Sonoma Vineyard scene it booted with after installing. Any ideas?

A workaround. Go to settings/wallpaper/your chosen Photos Album. Eventually (can take a while) your photo albums will list and there will be a thumbnail of each photo in the album. The first thumbnail is the non working 'cycle the album' activator. Any photo you click on becomes the wallpaper. Now keep clicking successively on as many as you want. Now go back to that first activator thumbnail and click on it. All photos you clicked will now cycle. I have 4100 photos in my 'wallpaper' album, but only have about 200 cycling. Good luck.
PS How many Sonoma updates do we have to wait for before Apple addresses this BIG FAIL. I think with 14.2 we have had 4.
You can do that if you want one picture as wallpaper, it doesn’t work if you want to randomly cycle all your photo library.
Alas, the logout/login solution is not as it seems.
This nightmare called Sonoma has been causing endless problems since its release and Apple has thus far not corrected anything. Whatever happened to their top-notch techs?
this doesn't work.
I have the same problem. I want to rotate photos from my collections as wallpaper (as I've done on previous MacOSs). As of today 12/13/23 with Sonoma 14.2 it STILL does not work.
Thanks Richard, this workaround is working for me.
This is really stupid that we have to do this, but it worked. Thanks.
Mine works. I have my photo's in a folder in Pictures called Desktop Backgrounds. I have the wallpaper app use that folder but I choose 15 minutes and use Random.
They is constantly changing things in apps for good or bad.
Can confirm it's still broken, and this works. Seems like it should be a pretty easy fix for Apple but at this rate maybe next OS it'll be fixed.
still broken with 14.5 as of today
was broken in Ventura too
Unable to change wallpaper on my Mac post Sonoma update
