After reading all of the comments on this thread and trying all of the things mentioned and having none of them work, I tried these steps on my own and this works!
I deleted the check (after writing down all the info of course) that I made the payment with. Then I went to the chart of accounts, highlighted my credit card line then went into its register. I made the payment by choosing the name of the credit card in the payee field, the amount of the payment in the payment field, and then I changed the account from its usual expense category to be the credit card itself. Boom!
