Activity feed does not fetch changesets from repositories automatically

We have a redmine project with multiple SVN repositories linked to it. The connection to the repositories works fine, except for one minor issue: The activity feed does not automatically update with the latest changesets from the repositories. It does update the feed if you go to the Repository tab and select the relevant repository on the right.
I already checked the settings and made sure that "Fetch commits automatically" is enabled. Googling for a solution did not yield any results for me. Is there another setting I am missing or do I need to setup an external cron job to trigger the update regularly?

The "Fetch commits automatically" feature in fact only fetches changes when browsing the repository. It does not automatically fetch commits when browsing other areas of the project (such as as the activity or issues tabs) as fetching changes can take quite some time depending on the repository.

To improve this, you can setup automatic updates with a post-commit hook. See HowTo_setup_automatic_refresh_of_repositories_in_Redmine_on_commit.

Thanks for the quick reply!
We checked all the settings in SVN and found out that the hooks were already in place. This is an inherited system, as it usually is the case with SVN these days, so no one really knew how this worked before now. The issue turned out to be that the "Enable WS for repository management" was turned off for some reason. We have no idea why or when it got turned off, but after enabling it again the hooks perform as expected. Our issue is now solved.
