Www and non www versions of the site: 301 redirects but I still get impressions on the wrong version

I moved from www.bastabollette.it to bastabollette.it, setting a 301 redirect.
If I check google search console, I still get impressions and looks like all old www pages are stille indexed. (see attached)
why? how can I fix this?
thank you

Bene!
I just crawl your site and i found that almost everywhere links are correct. PM me in private to sent you links that are http://www. or https://www.
BUT - the problem is that there isn't redirect 301 for the PDFs... Example: https://www.bastabollette.it/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/MODULO-DISDETTA-CONTRATTO-CON-NOTE1.pdf should redirect to https://bastabollette.it/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/MODULO-DISDETTA-CONTRATTO-CON-NOTE1.pdf but redirect won't happen and www return "200 OK". This is serious bug and affect all PDFs. Situation is even worse because this is also for CSS and JSs: https://www.bastabollette.it/wp-content/plugins/jetpack/css/jetpack.css?ver=3.8.1 or https://www.bastabollette.it/cdn-cgi/scripts/zepto.min.js Yeah... could be worse? YES! Images too https://www.bastabollette.it/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/logo2.png or https://www.bastabollette.it/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Cattura-002.jpg
So why this is important? You was need to make unconditional sitewide 301 redirect to www to non-www. Your redirect is partial and seems that affect only html files. If you're in Apache just need to do this in .htaccess.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.(.)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.)$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]If you're on other servers - LiteSpeed, nginx or IIS just contact me and i will provide commands for them.

yes I already set preferred domain in SearchConsole
-
I did not set canonical pages to new domain BUT i 301 redirected all traffic for www to non-www. isn't that enough?
-
yes I changed wordpress so that default is now non-www
-
I am gradually changing all the links to the internal pages as well as all assets to non-www (but it's huge since I am doing manually.
Anyway since I 'told' google that my site is now non-www (submitting new site maps, setting up 301s and the configurations above) I really can't understand why google still indexes the old non-www.
Any hint?
Thank you again

Ciao Giorgio! Come stai?
Did you use set preferred domain in SearchConsole? https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/44231?hl=en
You also need to set canonical pages to new domain (non-www). And also change in WordPress that default is now non-www. And change link to all pages (internal) from www to non-www. And after this you need to change link to all assets (JS/CSS/Imgs/PDFs/etc) to non-www.I bet that your move was partial because some of point above isn't make correct.

How can you add a rel canonical tag if you haven't created the wrong pages?
For one of our white paper campaigns we are getting multiple URL's some how but we only have one version of the page. So do I put the rel canonical tag on that one single page? Will that fix the other url's from being indexed? I'm assuming people are typing in the urls with underscores and capital or non-capital letters and it's showing up that way in analytics. Thanks!

Large number of Temporary Redirects
Hey, I own a large ecommerce site with a few thousand products. The platform we are using adds a default French, English, and German store. It is not out of the question to offer french version of our site in the future, but for the time being we have added temporary redirects on these pages back to the main (english) version. In my Moz analytics, there are 1000+ pages with temporary redirects, and Moz classifies these as medium priority. Is there a better solution to dealing with these default language pages? Thanks,

We use Google Analytics and we are currently extracting information from the Google Analytics cookies about our visitors. Is it possible to access DoubleClick cookies in a similiar fashion and get some demographic/interest information for each visitor to our website (if they have a DoubleClick cookie set)? If so, any information on how to retrieve it would be very appreciated.
