After almost a year with Sonoma nothing changed with that issue except that now I see sequoia trees instead of Sonoma vineyards…I still cannot use my photo library as wallpaper on my MacBook Air M1.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 15.0
I have exactly the same problem. I am using a M1 IMac. When I tried setting a photo album with rotating pictures as a wallpaper with Samona it just got the default vineyards picture. Now I have upgraded to Sequoia I tried the same thing now all I get now is Sequoia trees. Come on Apple you have had this bug logged for over a year

you can file a bug report / submit your Apple Feedback here: Product Feedback - Apple
they advertise this feature in the ads they do to push the upgrade but IT DOES NOT WORK
I'm on a MacBook Pro M1. Are you able to add an album from your photo library, or any single photo at all, as a wallpaper? You've probably already opened the Photos app and allowed it to update everything; if not, do that first. In Wallpaper settings, I had to select individual photos, then switch back to the "shuffle" option, and then change the "Shuffle" time to something other than what it had been before (15 min), to get macOS 15 to actually display my photos instead of the default trees. I recall having had similar problems with Sonoma. The OS wasn't respecting the existing wallpaper settings. Not sure what's up with that, other than the fact that Apple really wants to be sure we all see those trees. 🙄
Submitted a bug report. I have little/no faith in it getting fixed. All I can do is select a single photo from my library to be the wallpaper and no automatic changing wallpaper for me! Since Sonoma and now in Sequoia. Unfixed. :(
my workaround: export just desired pics from Photos and into folder on main drive. (I used users>name>Pictures) So no longer in a Photos Library. And not on an external drive.
While wallpaper is now displaying as I expect it will be a bother to add new pics.
good luck to you.
I did last year with Sonoma, who cared?
I did these steps but photo stays the same all the time, it's like i have set only one photo of my library as wallpaper.
I'm getting the trees again. It worked for a bit and then stopped. I can pick individual photos in the shared album and they'll appear, but it never changes to another photo.
Are your photos in an external device? Not that it should matter.......
Mac Mini M4 Pro — same problem.
I have the same problem on both Mac mini M4 and a MacBook Pro M4. Tried a lot of things to troubleshoot but nothing works.
Sequoia 15 wallpaper with my photo library not working
