Well, I have tried <?php echo get_the_title('About Us');?>

But the code is not working. I am using wordpress 4.1. This should work but it isn't. Has wordpress updated the functions?

    In my case, I was using `the_title()` on index.php resulting in the most recent post title being the page title instead of the page title. Your solution resolves this. – Clarus Dignus Sep 15 '19 at 21:33

Try this one,may it's help you

<?php echo get_the_title(); ?>

And if you want to get page or post title By id

 <?php echo get_the_title(post->$ID); ?>

Thanks

You are giving wrong parameters to get_title. See the codex.

You should have used ID instead to get the title.

So your code would be

 <?php echo get_the_title(13); //where 13 is the ID of the about us page ?>

NOTE: Parameters are optional.

You could use the_title() to display the title of the page. You can pass parameters for before and after HTML tags. For morr information, here are the docs:

https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/the_title/

<?php

the_title();

?>

You can try this 

 <?php echo get_page_by_title( 'About' ); ?>

<?php
  $page = get_page_by_title( 'About Us' );
 echo get_the_title($page->ID)
?>
