Wouldn’t it be better practice to use get_the_title(..) in this case? directly accessing the post object’s data member would bypass applying filters and enforcing protected and private settings, unless that’s explicitly desired.

If you need special things—[shortcodes], paragraph tags, anything exciting—in the content, you should apply the filters as opposed to using do_shortcode().
```
$post   = get_post( 42 );
$output =  apply_filters( 'the_content', $post->post_content );
```

To get the title for a post with ID 7:
```
$post_7 = get_post( 7 ); 
$title = $post_7->post_title;
```
Alternatively, specify the $output parameter:
```
$post_7 = get_post( 7, ARRAY_A );
$title = $post_7['post_title'];
```

If you want to get a post by slug, you could do a new WP_Query, or use the get_page_by_path function: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_page_by_path/

You’ll need to use the post_type if you are not getting a page.

If you have a shortcode in the content you should use:
```
$post = get_post( 4304,ARRAY_A );
$output =  do_shortcode($post['post_content']);
```
