I created an object of categorical variables that were of character type in my dataset. Then I created a Tableone object using the tutorial convention. When I execute that file, the categorical variables never return. I tried to convert my character variables to factors and run the CreateTableOne() to produce the output. Still, the categorical variables never appear.
Do the variables that require transformation need to be in another format? Unsure of how to display the categorical variables. I tried using as.factor in a mutate() to change the data type and the tableone object still only returns the continuous variables.

@Sirhurryup You need to specify all variables in the vars argument, not just the continuous variables. Try changing vars = convars to vars = c(convars, catvars) and re-running your code.
The behavior you've reported can be reproduced with the following example (modified from the?CreateTableOne documentation page):
## Load package
library(tableone)
## Load data
data(pbc, package = "survival")
## Make categorical variables factors
varsToFactor <- c("status","trt","ascites","hepato","spiders","edema","stage")
pbc[varsToFactor] <- lapply(pbc[varsToFactor], factor)
## Identify continuous variable names
convars <- c("time", "age")
## Identify categorical variable names
catvars <- c("status", "edema")
## Create Table 1 that doesn't show categorical variables when printed
CreateTableOne(vars = convars, strata = c("trt"), data = pbc, factorVars = catvars)

### n 158 154

## Create Table 1 now showing all variables when printed
CreateTableOne(vars = c(convars, catvars), strata = c("trt"), data = pbc, factorVars = catvars)
