some thoughts:
tried a different battery?
electrical leads/grounds in ignition
ignition problem? maybe ignition cylinder?
did you check that the new(er) starter was good?
everything hooked up properly to the starter?
checked fuses in relation to the ignition system/starter?

when you say will push start but not jump, you mean you can push start the car to turning over and running? but jumping the car via battery jump does not start the car nor does it turn over? just want to be clear with your wording
