Car won't start by turning the key.

I drive a 93 Honda Civic dx 5 speed that will not start by turning the key. I can roll (bump, push) start it without a problem but if I try to start the car by turning the key then all I get is a click from the heater motor relay. I have replaced the starter and I know the battery isn't a problem. No codes came up when doing the paperclip trick and the car didn't start when I did the paperclip bypass on the clutch safety switch. Someone plz help this is my daily driver and my first car and I'm lost by now on what could be wrong

The start contacts on the ignition switch might be toast. You might be able to just change out the electrical portion and keep the same keys
