    Examples

    $obj = get_post_status_object( 'publish' );
    echo esc_html( $obj->label );

    Alternatively, it also works like this:

    global $wp_post_statuses;
    $obj = $wp_post_statuses['publish'];
    echo esc_html( $obj->label );

    print_r( $obj ) looks like this:

    stdClass Object
    (
        [label] => Published
        [label_count] => Array
            (
                [0] => Published (%s)
                [1] => Published (%s)
                [singular] => Published (%s)
                [plural] => Published (%s)
                [context] => 
                [domain] => 
            )
