I have never had a problem, before Sonoma, using my Photos library, which is stored on an external HD, as the source for the Wallpaper on my MacBook Pro. All the System Settings are pointed to my Photos Library yet I still see the same Apple default Wallpaper.

That works for single photos but it doesn't work to select an album of 30 photos. In Ventura there was no problem selecting an album and have a selection of photos changing every few minutes.
hi
i dont know if i got you or not but you can right click on your desktop and click on change wallpaper and choose add photo and choose from photos and you can choose pictures from your photos
I, too, have had issues with Sonoma on this very thing. I have a folder merely called "Pictures" that's loaded with over 100 images—all PSDs—that were set to rotate each day (at midnight), in alphabetical order. Since I updated to Sonoma, that hasn't worked out so well. For some reason, the system loads only a dozen or so of those images and those rotate around noon.
I like my own images for wallpapers. But I don't remember them being referred to as wallpapers before Sonoma. If there's a place to put them where they can be used like before and have them rotate correctly, I'm up for suggestions.
It's been my experience that Apple likes to introduce new ways of doing things that they see as beneficial, but will screw up some things for longtime users like myself.
