Default Starting problem

I drove my truck to ball game I had and back the next morning I go to start it and it just clicks once so I thought it might be a dead battery so I tried to jump it and it done the same thing so I replaced the battery and tried starting it and done the same thing one click so I thought it might be the starter so I replaced it and same thing one click I’ve checked the grounds wires from the starter and I can’t figure out what’s wrong it’ll do the one click thing sometimes and it’ll also click like it’s a dead battery so I’m stumped on what it could be

Check your negative ground cable and make sure the end that attaches to the block is clean, and that the cable ends have not developed the dreaded green grunge of oxidation.
