There's a lot more which could cause that problem that wasn't mentioned in the linked post.
So it does (eventually) shift into the gear(s) sucessfully? Could be-
-Clutch adjustment incorrect
-Clutch linkage binding
-Shift rail binding
-Internal bind in transmission/transaxle caused by shift forks, selector plates, or synchronizer assemblies
-Clutch housing misalignment
-Incorrect lubricant
It's probably an issue with the clutch, although I wouldn't rule anything out yet. Also, the "easier to shift into gear with the engine not running" is rubbish. All conventional H-gate manuals should be able to do this, the input shaft is not spinning so there's nothing clashing against the synchronizer sleeves.
