Anybody have any ideas? If you need me to provide any more information, just let me know.

gbmFit2 <- train(SalePrice ~ .,
                  data = train,
                  na.action = na.pass,
                  method = "gbm", 
                  # preProcess = c( "knnImpute", "zv", "nzv", "YeoJohnson"),
                  trControl = fitControl,
                  ## This last option is actually one
                  ## for gbm() that passes through
                  verbose = TRUE)

You probably have many levels of ordered factors in your train set. Am I correct? – missuse Feb 21 '18 at 19:21
@missuse, yes I had many levels but I've solved the problem. Thank you for replying. – Display_name_placeholder Feb 24 '18 at 02:59
