Comment (by alpesh1988):

 Deactivation means 'deprecated' what i meant for. I explain you the
 scenario.

 The need is to show a excerpt for a page. To do so, I have a custom widget
 in which from dropdown menu, I can select a one page out of the pages i
 have built in site. For example, I selected 'About us' Page. I get the
 page id using get_page(). After that I am not able to show the excerpt
 using the key [post_excerpt]. It does not print anything. I guess It is
 because page can not have excerpt. so the styling for 'about us' page in
 given link1 is not same as in link2.

 Currently I am getting content using wp_html_excerpt() with word limit.

 so the question is Why [post_excerpt] does not work in get_page() ?
