#34480 closed enhancement (duplicate)

get_the_content inconsistent with get_the_title

Description

get_the_title accepts a post id parameter, to target a specific post outside of the loop; one would assume that get_the_content would work the same way.

That is not the case.

get_the_content does not currently accept a post id as the first parameter - which goes against what would be assumed after having used get_the_title.

TLDR: add post id parameter to get_the_content.

Note: get_the_excerpt() doesn't support a post parameter either. It has a deprecated function argument though.

34480.diff add the additional id param to both get_the_content and get_the_excerpt. It is a bit strange that they are in different positions (second and third) and after deprecated params but the use case seems to make sense.

Param name should be $post, not $id, I beleive. See #34234.
