I have an older table top bandsaw that I have used for some time. I was
using a fine metal cutting blade on the saw, but changed it out for a
wood cutting blade for an upcoming project.

With the metal cutting blade every thing was fine, but when I switched
the wood cutting blade would not cut. It is almost like pushing the
wood into a wall.

I have check every thing I could think of ie teeth directions, tension,
etc. I have checked the height of the blade guide to insure that there
is clearance for the wood to pass under it. I have purchased a new
blade but not installed it yet thinking the that may be the problem.

Is there any thing else I should be considering that would cause the saw
not to cut?

I know you mentioned the blade guard was clear, but more times than I
care to admit, I've had my guard raised enough to clear, but a setscrew
on the back hangs down about 1/8" below and catches the wood causing a
WTF? moment. Ditto for the table insert.
