When automatically-generated class BuddyPress groups are deleted, the group avatars get left behind.

No problem running this frequently – suggest about once per semester, or after any major clean-up removal of groups.

embed_page shortcode
Used on /documentation site only (for now) – should be of only limited use, as it does not buffer/cache the contents pulled from another page, and overuse could be seen as abusive by some web sites.
